Probability



From the above table a student argues that there are 11 possible outcomes 2, 3, 4, 5, 6, 7, 8, 9, 10, 11 and 12. Therefore, each of them has a probability . Do you agree with this argument?

Total number of possible outcomes, n(S) = 36


Number of favorable outcomes = n(E)


We know that,
