Question 11 I throw a pair of 6-sided dice. Write down an event that has a probability of 0 and an outcome that has a probability of 1. Here, we throw pair of 6-sided die (not 1 die, 2 dies) Event with probability 0 (Impossible) Let event be Sum of the two dice is 13 Since highest possible sum is 6 + 6 = 12. This event would have Probability 0 Event with probability 1 (Certain) The sum of the two dice is a number between 2 and 12 (inclusive). Since Minimum sum = 1 + 1 = 2 Maximum sum = 6 + 6 = 12 So, this event would have Probability 1
