Question

Two number cubes are tossed together; one is blue and the other is orange. What is the probability of getting an odd number on the orange cube and a total of five?

Answer 1

5⇒(1,4),(3,2) where (orange,blue)

P= 2/36=1/18

Answer 2

1/18

Explanation:

Given that two number cubes are tossed together. One is blue and the other is orange.

In the cube, there are 6 faces numbered 1 to 6.

Getting odd number has probability = 0.5

When orange cube shows odd number, total to be 5 has only the following possibilities

(1,4) or (3,2) . There cannot be any other possibility

Favourable outcomes =2

Total outcomes = 6x6 =36

Hence probability =
`(2)/(36) =(1)/(18)`
