Question

A pair of dice is thrown once. Find the probability of getting a double.

Answer 1

There are $36$ possibilities when a pair of dice is thrown once. Out of these there are $6$ possibilities

So,

Pair of $(1,1),(2,2),(3,3),(4,4),(5,5),(6,6).$

Hence,

The required probability is $\frac{6}{36}=\frac{1}{6}$.

Hence, this is the answer.
