Two dice are thrown and the sum of the numbers appeared on the dice is noted. If \(A\) is the event of getting a prime number as their sum and \(B\) is the event of getting a number greater than 8 as their sum, then \(\mathrm{P}(\mathrm{A} \cap \overline{\mathrm{B}})=\)

  1. A \(\frac{1}{4}\)
  2. B \(\frac{13}{36}\)
  3. C \(\frac{2}{9}\)
  4. D \(\frac{5}{18}\)

Answer & Solution

Correct Answer

(B) \(\frac{13}{36}\)

Step-by-step Solution

Detailed explanation

Total outcomes: \( 6^2 = 36 \). Sums for \( A \) (prime): \( \{2,3,5,7,11\} \). Sums for \( \overline{B} \) (not \( > 8 \)): \( \{2,3,4,5,6,7,8\} \). Favorable sums for \( A \cap \overline{B} \): \( \{2,3,5,7\} \).…
