Two dice are thrown simultaneously. If X denotes the number of sixes appearing on two dice, then which of the following are correct?

(A) P(X=0)=136P(X=0)=\frac{1}{36}

(B) P(X=1)=1036P(X=1)=\frac{10}{36}

(C) P(X=1)+P(X=0)=3536P(X=1)+P(X=0)=\frac{35}{36}

(D) P(X=1)+P(X=2)=1136P(X=1)+P(X=2)=\frac{11}{36}

Choose the correct answer from the options given below:

Solution

✅ Correct Option: 2

XX is binomial with n=2n=2, p=16p=\frac16: P(0)=2536P(0)=\frac{25}{36}, P(1)=1036P(1)=\frac{10}{36}, P(2)=136P(2)=\frac{1}{36}.

(A) is false since P(X=0)=2536P(X=0)=\frac{25}{36}.

(B) is true.

(C) 10+2536=3536\frac{10+25}{36}=\frac{35}{36}, true.

(D) 10+136=1136\frac{10+1}{36}=\frac{11}{36}, true.
