A pair of dice is thrown. Then the probability that either of the dice shows 2 when their sum is 6 is
Options
- A1 2
- B1 5
- C2 5
- D3 5
Correct answer
C. 2 5
Step-by-step solution
Let E₁= Either of dice shows 2 E₂= Sum of pair is 6 . Then, E₂= (1,5)(2,4),(4,2),(3,3)(5,1) and E₁= (2,4)(4,2) P ( E₁ E₂ )= P (E₁ E₂ ) P (E₂ ) = 2 / 36 5 / 36 = 2 5
