Question

Mina tosses two number cubes labeled 1 to 6. What Is the probability that the sum is equal to 5.

Answer 1

Let us see the various possibilities for sum getting 5

(1,4)

(4,1)

(3,2)

(2,3)

Total 4 possibilities.

 

Total sample space = 36 possibilities

 

So, the required probability = 4/36=1/9
