Correct option is: B) 0
When two dices are thrown.
The minimum sum of appear numbers is 2 and
The maximum sum of appear numbers is 12
We never get a sum of 13
so favourable outcomes to event of "getting a total of 13"is 0
Total possible outcomes when two dices are thrown is
n (s) = 6 \(\times\) 6 = 36
\(\therefore\) Probability of getting a total of 13 is
P = \(\frac {n(E)}{n(S)} \) = \(\frac {Total \, favourable \, outcome}{Total\, possible \, outcomes}\) = \(\frac 0 {36} = 0\)
