Question

Two dice are rolled. What is the probability that the sum of the dice is bigger than 5 or that at least one of the dice shows an odd number?

Answer 1

total possible outcomes r 36
sum bigger than 5 is possible in 26 outcomes
So P(sum is bigger than 5) = 26/36 = 13/18

Answer 2

Thanks, can u pls explain the workings to achieve these answers?

Answer 3

P(at least one dice shows an odd number) = 27/36

Answer 4

You can do this easily by writing out all the possible outcomes as follows:

11 12 13 14 15 16
21 22 23 24 25 26
31 32 33 34 35 36
41 42 43 44 45 46
51 52 53 54 55 56
61 62 63 64 65 66
