What is the probability of getting a sum 9 from two throws of a dice?

[A].
1
6
[B].
1
8
[C].
1
9
[D].
1
12

Answer: Option E

Explanation:

In two throws of a die, n(S) = (6 x 6) = 36.

Let E = event of getting a sum ={(3, 6), (4, 5), (5, 4), (6, 3)}.

P(E) = n(E) = 4 = 1 .
n(S) 36 9

How did get the sum element?

How to select n(e) = 4.

@rama.

That is because the event of finding the sum 9 is 4.

HOW IT DO
PLEASE EXPLAIN

How it could be n(s)= (6 x 6)

Srinivas said: (Wed, Jun 15, 2011 12:55:36 AM)    
 
n(s)=36

n(a)=[36][45][63][54]

p(a)=4/36=1/9

@Azam

In both throughs, it can be any of 1,2,3...,6(6C1 ways of selection). So total number of outcomes = 6C1*6C1 = 36

More clearly, the elements of sample spaces are

{(1,1),(1,2),(1,3),....,(2,1),(2,2),.....(6,1),(6,2),....(6,6)}

Hope you got it.

How to find event that is (3, 4) (4, 5) (5, 4) (6, 3) please explain.

Syam said: (Thu, Jan 5, 2012 03:19:07 PM)    
 
{ (3, 6) , (4, 5) , (5, 4) , (6, 3) } is a case only.

We can get (6, 3) , (5, 4) , (3, 6) , (4, 5) also.

So answer is 8/38 = 2/9.

Am I correct ?

How do we know that we have to pick up 6 * 6?
