Question

Two dice are thrown simultaneously. The probability of getting a doublet is

• A. $\frac{5}{6}$
• B. $\frac{1}{3}$
• C. $0$
• D. $\frac{1}{6}$

Answer 1

The correct option is D $\frac{1}{6}$

When the two dice are thrown simultaneously, all possible outcomes = 36.

The favourable outcomes are: (1,1), (2,2), (3,3), (4,4), (5,5), (6,6)
No. of favourable outcomes = 6
$\therefore$ P (getting a doublet) $\frac{6}{36}=\frac{1}{6}$
