In a simultaneous throw of a pair of dice, the probability of getting a total more than \( 7 \) is
- A \( \frac{7}{12} \)
- B \( \frac{5}{36} \)
- C \( \frac{5}{12} \)
- D \( \frac{7}{36} \)
Answer & Solution
Correct Answer
(C) \( \frac{5}{12} \)
Step-by-step Solution
Detailed explanation
Total number of outcomes of getting sum more than \( 7 \), that is, \( \{8,9,10,11,12\} \) is \( 15 \)
Total number of outcomes is \( 36 \).
So, required probability is given by \( \frac{15}{36}=\frac{5}{12} \)
Total number of outcomes is \( 36 \).
So, required probability is given by \( \frac{15}{36}=\frac{5}{12} \)
