Question

A six-sided dice is rolled twice. Find the probability that the larger of the two rolls was equal to 5.

Answer 1

The probability that the larger of the two rolls was equal to 5 is; 2/9

Probability of possible outcomes

The total number of possible outcomes when the dice is rolled twice is 36 outcomes.

Now, for the larger of the two rolls to equal 5, the total number of favourable  outcomes are 8 which are;

(1, 5), (2, 5), (3, 5), (4, 5), (5, 1), (5, 2), (5, 3), (5,4)

Thus, probability that the larger of the two rolls was equal to 5 is;

P(larger of 2 rolls equals 5) = 8/36 = 2/9
