Question
When two dice are rolled:
Find the probability of getting a total less than $5?$

Answer

Possible outcomes when two dice are rolled:
$S = \{(1, 1), (1, 2), (1, 3), (1, 4),$ _____$, (6, 5), (6, 6)\}$
Therefore, the number of possible outcomes in the sample space is $36.$
The number of favourable outcomes is $6.$
$\therefore \text{P(B)}=\frac{6}{36}=\frac{1}{6}$
