Question 149

When two dice are thrown, the probability of getting the sum 9 is

Solution

When two dice are thrown, the possible cases of getting a sum of 9 are (3,6) (4,5) (5,4) (6,3)

Number of favourable cases = 4

Total possibilities = 6 x 6 = 36

$$\therefore\ $$Required probability = $$\frac{4}{36}$$ = $$\frac{1}{9}$$

Hence, the correct answer is Option C
