Question

The probability of getting a sum of 5 on rolling two dice is $\frac{1}{11}$.

• A. True
• B. False

Answer 1

The correct option is B

False

There are four favourable outcomes for getting a sum of 5: (1, 4), (2, 3), (3, 2) and (4, 1).
There are a total of 36 possible outcomes.
Probability of an event E, P(E) =$\frac{\text{number of favourable outcomes}}{\text{total number of outcomes}}$
Hence, the probability is $\frac{4}{36}$, which is, $\frac{1}{9}$.
Hence the given statement is false.
