Two dice are thrown simultaneously.
The probability that sum is odd or less than or both is
Explanation for the correct option:
From the classical definition of probability we know,
Probability of an event
If two dice are thrown simultaneously, the total number of sample space is , which is as follows:
n(S)
Favorable outcomes(sum is odd)
n(odd)
Favorable outcomes(sum less than 7)
n(sum less than )
Favorable outcomes(both)
n(both)
The required probability P(sum is odd) P(sum less than ) P(both)
P(odd)
P(less than )
P(both)
Required Probability
Hence the correct option is option(C) i.e.
