Two dice are thrown together. The probability of getting the same number on both dice is
Total numbers of elementary events are: 6x 6= 36
Let E be the event of getting same number on both dice together
Favorable outcomes are: (1,1), (2,2), (3,3), (4,4), (5,5), (6,6)
Numbers of favorable outcomes are: 6
P( both same numbers) = P (E) = 6/36 = 1/6
