A pair of dice is thrown. What is the probability of getting the sum of numbers on the two faces an odd-prime number?

Solution

Correct Option: 1

Total outcomes =36= 36. Odd primes between 2 and 12: 3, 5, 7, 11. Favourable pairs: sum 3 (2 ways), sum 5 (4 ways), sum 7 (6 ways), sum 11 (2 ways) =14= 14. Probability =14/36=7/18= 14/36 = 7/18.
