      Question

      A game consists of tossing three coins once and then

      rolling two dice. Find the probability of getting at least two heads in the coin toss and a sum equal to 6 on the dice.
      A 5/72 Correct Answer Incorrect Answer
      B 1/6 Correct Answer Incorrect Answer
      C 3/48 Correct Answer Incorrect Answer
      D 1/12 Correct Answer Incorrect Answer
      E 1/18 Correct Answer Incorrect Answer

      Solution

      For tossing 3 coins: Total number of possible outcomes = 23 = 8 Favourable outcomes for at least two heads = HHT, HTH, THH, HHH = 4 outcomes So, probability = (4/8) = (1/2) For rolling 2 dice: Total number of possible outcomes = 6 × 6 = 36 Number of favourable outcomes = 5 [(1,5), (2,4), (3,3), (4,2), (5,1)] So, Probability of getting a sum equal to 6 while rolling 2 dice = (5/36) Required probability = (1/2) × (5/36) = 5/72
