Question

Two dice are tossed. The probability that the total score is a prime number is:

Options:

A . 1 6

B . 5 12

C . 1 2

D . 7 9

Answer: Option B

Clearly, n(S) = (6 x 6) = 36.

Let E = Event that the sum is a prime number.

Then E
= { (1, 1), (1, 2), (1, 4), (1, 6), (2, 1), (2, 3), (2, 5), (3, 2), (3, 4), (4, 1), (4, 3),
(5, 2), (5, 6), (6, 1), (6, 5) }

n(E) = 15.

P(E) =
n(E)
=
15
=
5
.
n(S)
36
12
