If two dice are thrown simultaneously, then the probability that the sum of the numbers which come up on the dice to be more than ( 5 ) is

Step-by-step solution

Total number of outcomes is 6 6=6 Favourable outcomes is (1,5),(1,6),(2,4),(2,5),(2,6),(3,3),(3,4),(3,5),(3,6),(4,2),(4,3),(4,4),(4,5),(4,6),(5, , 1),(5,2),(5,3),(5,4),(5,5),(5,6),(6,1),(6,2),(6,3),(6,4),(6,5),(6,6) , that is 26 . Therefore, required probability is P= 26 36 = 13 18
