Probability for rolling two dice with the six sided dots such as 1, 2, 3, 4, 5 and 6 dots in each die. When two dice are thrown simultaneously, thus number of event can be 62 = 36 because each die has 1 to 6 number on its faces.

(ii) The pair (1, 2) and (2, 1) are different outcomes. Worked-out problems involving probability for rolling two dice: 1. Two dice are rolled. Let A, B, C be the events of getting a sum of 2, a sum of 3 and a sum of 4 respectively. Then, show that (i) A is a simple event (ii) B and C are compound events (iii) A and B are mutually exclusive Solution: Clearly, we haveA = {(1, 1)}, B = {(1, 2), (2, 1)} and C = {(1, 3), (3, 1), (2, 2)}. (i) Since A consists of a single sample point, it is a simple event. (ii) Since both B and C contain more than one sample point, each one of them is a compound event. (iii) Since A ∩ B = ∅, A and B are mutually exclusive. 2. Two dice are rolled. A is the event that the sum of the numbers shown on the two dice is 5, and B is the event that at least one of the dice shows up a 3. Are the two events (i) mutually exclusive, (ii) exhaustive? Give arguments in support of your answer. Solution: When two dice are rolled, we have n(S) = (6 × 6) = 36.

(i) the odds in favour of getting the sum 5: Let E1 be the event of getting the sum 5. Then,E1 = {(1, 4), (2, 3), (3, 2), (4, 1)} ⇒ P(E1) = 4 Therefore, P(E1) = n(E1)/n(S) = 4/36 = 1/9 ⇒ odds in favour of E1 = P(E1)/[1 – P(E1)] = (1/9)/(1 – 1/9) = 1/8. (ii) the odds against getting the sum 6: Let E2 be the event of getting the sum 6. Then,E2 = {(1, 5), (2, 4), (3, 3), (4, 2), (5, 1)} ⇒ P(E2) = 5 Therefore, P(E2) = n(E2)/n(S) = 5/36 ⇒ odds against E2 = [1 – P(E2)]/P(E2) = (1 – 5/36)/(5/36) = 31/5. 5.

(i) Number of favourable outcomes for the event E = number of outcomes having equal numbers on both dice = 6 [namely, (1, 1), (2, 2), (3, 3), (4, 4), (5, 5), (6, 6)]. So, by definition, P(E) = \(\frac{6}{36}\) = \(\frac{1}{6}\) (ii) Number of favourable outcomes for the event F = Number of outcomes in which two numbers appearing on them have the sum 9 = 4 [namely, (3, 6), (4, 5), (5, 4), (3, 6)]. Thus, by definition, P(F) = \(\frac{4}{36}\) = \(\frac{1}{9}\). These examples will help us to solve different types of problems based on probability for rolling two dice.
