A pair of dice is thrown until the sum of numbers appeared is a perfect square or a non-perfect square sum appeared five times in succession. If random variable \(X\) denotes the number of non perfect square sums appeared. then \(P(X>0)\) is

  1. A \(\frac{7}{36}\)
  2. B \(\frac{29}{36}\)
  3. C 1
  4. D \(\frac{1}{2}\)
Verified Solution

Answer & Solution

Correct Answer

(B) \(\frac{29}{36}\)

Step-by-step Solution

Detailed explanation

\(P(\text{sum is 4}) = \frac{3}{36}\) \(P(\text{sum is 9}) = \frac{4}{36}\) \(P(\text{perfect square sum}) = P(\text{PS}) = \frac{3+4}{36} = \frac{7}{36}\) \(P(X>0) = 1 - P(X=0)\) \(P(X=0) = P(\text{first throw is PS}) = \frac{7}{36}\)…
