Description : Two dice are thrown together. The probability that the total score is a composite number is: A) 5/12 b) 12/7 c) 7/12 d) 12/5
Last Answer : Answer: C) Clearly, n(S) = (6 x 6) = 36. Let E = Event that the sum is a composite number Then E= { (1, 3), (1, 5), (2, 2), (2, 4), (2, 6), (3, 1), (3, 5), (3, 3), (3, 6), (4, 2), (4,4),(4, 5), (4, 6), ( ... 5,3),(5,4),(5,5),(6,2),(6,3),(6,4),(6,6) } n(E) = 21 P(E) = n(E)/n(S) = 21/36 = 7/12.
