Two dice are thrown together. Find the probability that the product of the numbers on the top of the dice is 12

Solution:

Given, two dice are thrown together.

We have to find the probability that the product of the numbers on the top of the dice is 12.

When 2 dice are thrown at the same time, the overall possible outcomes are

(1,1) (1,2) (1,3) (1,4) (1,5) (1,6)

(2,1) (2,2) (2,3) (2,4) (2,5) (2,6)

(3,1) (3,2) (3,3) (3,4) (3,5) (3,6)

(4,1) (4,2) (4,3) (4,4) (4,5) (4,6)

(5,1) (5,2) (5,3) (5,4) (5,5) (5,6)

(6,1) (6,2) (6,3) (6,4) (6,5) (6,6)

Total number of possible outcomes = 36

Favourable outcomes = {(2,6) (3,4) (4,3) (6,2)}

Number of favourable outcomes = 4

Number of possible outcomes = 36

Probability = number of favourable outcomes / number of possible outcomes

Probability = 4/36

= 1/9

Therefore, the probability of getting the product of the numbers as 12 on the top

of the dice is 1/9.
