Question

If two dice are thrown simultaneously, then the probability that the sum of the numbers which come up on the dice to be more than 5 is ________

• A. $\frac{5}{36}$
• B. $\frac{1}{6}$
• C. $\frac{5}{18}$
• D. $\frac{13}{18}$

Answer 1

The correct option is D

$\frac{13}{18}$

Number of outcomes with sum less than or equal to five = 10

So, probability of outcomes with sum more than five = $\frac{26}{36}$
