Two dice arc rolled once. Find the probability of getting such numbers on the two dice, whose product is 12.
Given: Two dice.
To do: To find the probability of getting such numbers on the both dice, whose product is 12, when two dice are rolled.
Solution:
When two dice are rolled, there are 36 total possible outcomes
{$ ( 1,\ 1) ,\ ( 1,\ 2) ,\ ( 1,\ 3) ,\ ( 1,\ 4) ,\ ( 1,\ 5) ,\ ( 1,\ 6)$
$( 2,\ 1) ,\ ( 2,\ 2) ,\ ( 2,\ 3) ,\ ( 2,\ 4) ,\ ( 2,\ 5) ,\ ( 2,\ 6)$
$( 3,\ 1) ,\ ( 3,\ 2) ,\ ( 3,\ 3) ,\ ( 3,\ 4) ,\ ( 3,\ 5) ,\ ( 3,\ 6)$
$( 4,\ 1) ,\ ( 4,\ 2) ,\ ( 4,\ 3) ,\ ( 4,\ 4) ,\ ( 4,\ 5) ,\ ( 4,\ 6)$
$( 5,\ 1) ,\ ( 5,\ 2) ,\ ( 5,\ 3) ,\ ( 5,\ 4) ,\ ( 5,\ 5) ,\ ( 5,\ 6)$
$( 6,\ 1) ,\ ( 6,\ 2) ,\ ( 6,\ 3) ,( 6,\ 4) ,\ ( 6,\ 5) ,\ ( 6,\ 6)$}
Product of outcomes will be 12 for
$( 2,6) ,\ ( 6,2) ,\ ( 3,4)$ and $( 4,3)$
No. of favourable outcomes $=4\ $
Probability $=\frac{no.\ of\ favourable\ outcomes}{total\ no.\ of\ possible\ outcomes}=\frac{4}{36} =\frac{1}{9}$
Thus, $\frac{1}{9}$ is the probability of getting such numbers on the both dice, whose product is 12, when two dice are rolled.
