The correct Answer is:
To solve the problem of finding the specified events when a pair of dice is thrown, we will analyze each event step by step. ### Step-by-Step Solution 1. **Total Outcomes When Throwing Two Dice**: - When two dice are thrown, each die has 6 faces. Therefore, the total number of outcomes is: \[ 6 \times 6 = 36 \] 2. **(i) Same Numbers on Both Dice**: - The pairs where both dice show the same number are: (1,1), (2,2), (3,3), (4,4), (5,5), (6,6). - Total outcomes for this event: \[ \text{Total} = 6 \quad \text{(one for each number)} \] 3. **(ii) The Sum is Greater than 10**: - The possible combinations that yield a sum greater than 10 are: - (5,6) → 11 - (6,5) → 11 - (6,6) → 12 - Total outcomes for this event: \[ \text{Total} = 3 \] 4. **(iii) Even Numbers on Both Dice**: - The even numbers on a die are 2, 4, and 6. The pairs of even numbers are: - (2,2), (2,4), (2,6) - (4,2), (4,4), (4,6) - (6,2), (6,4), (6,6) - Total outcomes for this event: \[ \text{Total} = 9 \quad \text{(3 choices for the first die and 3 for the second)} \] 5. **(iv) Odd Numbers on Both Dice**: - The odd numbers on a die are 1, 3, and 5. The pairs of odd numbers are: - (1,1), (1,3), (1,5) - (3,1), (3,3), (3,5) - (5,1), (5,3), (5,5) - Total outcomes for this event: \[ \text{Total} = 9 \quad \text{(3 choices for the first die and 3 for the second)} \] 6. **(v) The Sum is 7**: - The possible combinations that yield a sum of 7 are: - (1,6), (2,5), (3,4), (4,3), (5,2), (6,1) - Total outcomes for this event: \[ \text{Total} = 6 \] ### Summary of Results - (i) Same numbers on both dice: **6** - (ii) The sum is greater than 10: **3** - (iii) Even numbers on both dice: **9** - (iv) Odd numbers on both dice: **9** - (v) The sum is 7: **6**
