two dice are thrown together find the probability of getting the same number on both the dice?
When two dice are drawn there will be 36 combinations. However, for getting the same number on both die, there will be 6 possibilities which are (1,1),(2,2),(3,3),(4,4),(5,5) and (6,6). Hence, the required probability is 6/36 = 1/6. Originally Answered: Two dice are thrown together.
