What is the probability of getting a sum 9 from two throws of a dice? Choose the correct choice from the following:
A) 1/6
B) 1/8
C) 1/9
D) 1/12
E) None
Solution   In two throws of a die, n(S) = (6×6)   = 36.   Let E = event of getting a sum 9= {{3,6),(4,5),(5,4),(6,3)}   P(E)	= n(E) / n(S)   = 4/36   ‹=›1/9.   Answer 1/9
