Options:
A) $ \frac{4}{6} $
B) $ \frac{1}{9} $

Show Answer
Answer:
Correct Answer: B
Solution:
- [b] Total number of outcomes $ n,(S)=6^{2}=36 $ and event of getting a total score of 5 = {(1, 4), (2, 3), (3, 2) (4, 1)} Favourable outcomes n[e] = 4
$ \therefore $ Required probability $ =\frac{n(E)}{n(S)}=\frac{4}{36}=\frac{1}{9} $
