Question

If two fair dice are tossed, find the probability that two consecutive integers turn up.

• A. $0.14$
• B. $0.17$
• C. $0.28$
• D. $0.33$
• E. $0.50$

Answer 1

The correct option is C $0.28$

If two dice are tossed, the possible set of pairs of outcomes is $6\times 6=36$.
The number of sets with consecutive integers is $10$.
Therefore the probability that consecutive integers turn up is $\frac{10}{36}=0.28$.
