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
