Correct Answer - Option 1 : 5/18
Calculation:
When 2 dice are throw total outcome = 36
Number of outcomes where sum of throws is 9 = (4, 5), (5, 4), (3, 6) and (6, 3) = 4
Number of outcomes where sum of throws is 10 = (4, 6), (6, 4), and (5, 5) = 3
Number of outcomes where sum of throws is 11 = (6, 5), and (5, 6) = 2
Number of outcomes where sum of throws is 12 = (6, 6) = 1
Total number of ways of getting sum 9 and above = 4 + 3 + 2 + 1 = 10 ways
Probability of getting sum 9 and above = 10/36 = 5/18
∴ Required probability is 5/18.
