Three dice are thrown together, Find the probability of getting a total of 5? Choose the correct option
A) 1/2
B) 1/5
C) 3/8
D) 3/14
E) 1/36
Three different dice are thrown at the same time.   Therefore, total number of possible outcomes will be 63 = (6 × 6 × 6) = 216.   Number of events of getting a total of 5 = 6   i.e. (1, 1, 3), (1, 3, 1), (3, 1, 1), (2, 2, 1), (2, 1, 2) and (1, 2, 2)   Therefore, probability of getting a total of 5   P(1/361) = Number of favorable outcomes/Total number of possible outcome   = 6/216   = 1/36
