A fair die is thrown two times. What is the probability that the sum of the scores is at least 10?

A.

536

B.

16

C.

518

D.

23

Correct answer is B

12345611,11,21,31,41,51,622,12,22,32,42,52,633,13,23,33,43,53,644,14,24,34,44,54,655,15,25,35,45,55,666,16,26,36,46,56,6

From the table above, event space, n(E) = 6

sample space, n(S) = 36

Hence, probability sum of scores is at least 10, is;

n(E)n(S)

= 636

= 16
