When two dice are thrown, the probability of getting an ordered pair \((x, y)\) such that \(x^2+y^2 \leq 25\) where \(x, y\) are numbers that show up on the two dice, is

  1. A \(\frac{4}{9}\)
  2. B \(\frac{25}{36}\)
  3. C \(\frac{7}{12}\)

Answer & Solution

Correct Answer

(D) \(\frac{5}{12}\)

Step-by-step Solution

Detailed explanation

Two dice thrown with \((x, y)\) coordinate. Total sample space \(\mathrm{S}=6^2=36\). Let \(\mathrm{E}\) favourable outcome to choose numbers which satisfy the equation \(x^2+y^2 \leq 25\). Keep fixed first position whose possible numbers are 1,…
