Question

Philoid · Accepted Answer

As 2 dice are thrown so there are 6×6 = 36 possibilities.

Let E denote the event of getting a total score of 5.

E = {(1,6),(2,5),(3,4),(4,3),(5,2),(6,1)}

∴ n(E)= 6

Hence,

P(E) = 6/36

As our answer matches only with option (b)

∴ Option (b) is the only correct choice.
