In a simultaneous throw of two dice, what is the probability of getting a doublet?
Answers:
A) 1/6
B) 1/4
C) 2/3
D) 3/7
E) 1/2
In a simultaneous throw of two dice, n(S) = (6 x 6)= 36.   Let E = event of getting a doublet = {(1,1), (2,2), (3,3), (4,4), (5,5), (6,6)}.   Therefore, P(E) = n (E)/ n(S) = 6/36 = 1/6.   1/6NSWER:1/6
