If we rolled 2 six-sided dice,

a) the probability of obtaining 2 or 3 is = 22/36 = 11/18

2 dice are rolled. therefore there are total 36 possibilities. and among this 36 possibilities no of times we can obtain 2 is 11. those are (2,1),(2,2),....,(2,6)(1,2),(3,2),.....,(6,2) .similarly no of times we can obtain 3 is 11. probability of getting either 2 or 3 is 22/36.

b) the probability of obtaining 6 and 4 is 2/36 = 1/18

among 36 possibilities 6 and 4 can be obtained in 2 cases (6,4) and (4,6). so the probability is 2/36=1/18.

c) probability of getting at least one 5 is 11/36

no. of cases where at least one 5 will occur (1,5),(2,5),...(6,5),(5,1),...,(5,4),(5,6) =11

d)Probability of obtaining two same nos is: 1/6

sample space of two same no's are {(1,1),(2,2),(3,3),(4,4),(5,5),(6,6)}.so there are 6 combinations. probability = 6/36 =1/36

e)Probability of getting an even no on both dice are 1/4

A die can takes value {2,4,6} i.e all possible cases are {(2,2),(2,4),(2,6),(4,2),(4,4),(4,6),(6,2)(6,4),(6,6)}. total no of cases are 9. probability = 9/36=1/4

f)Probability of getting an even no on at least on die is 11/12

all possible cases where 2 can occur is 11. 4 can occur in 11 place similarly 6 can occur in 11 place.

i.e. probability = (11+11+11)/36 = 33/36 = 11/12
