Two dice are thrown at the same time and the product of numbers appearing on them is noted. Find the probability that the product is less than $9$.
Given: Two dice are thrown at the same time and the product of numbers appearing on them is noted.
To do: To find the probability that the product is less than $9$.
Solution:
As given that two dice are rolled.
Then the probability of outcomes $n( S)=6\times6=36$.
Let E be the event of getting a product less than $9$.
The number whose product is less than $9$
$=( 1,\ 1),\ ( 1,\ 2),\ ( 1,\ 3),\ ( 1,\ 4),\ ( 1,\ 5),\ ( 1,\ 6),\ ( 2,\ 1),\ ( 2,\ 2),\ ( 2,\ 3),\ ( 2,\ 4),\ ( 3,\ 1),\ ( 3,\ 2),\ ( 4,\ 1),\ ( 4,\ 2),\ ( 5,\ 1),\ ( 6,\ 1)$
$=16$
Therefore the required probability
$P( E)=\frac{n( E)}{n( S)}$
$=\frac{16}{36}$
$=\frac{4}{9}$.
