When two dice are throw, then total outcome = 36
A doubled: {(1, 1), (2, 2), (3, 3), (4, 4), (5, 5), (6, 6)}
Favourable outcome = 6
Sum is 10: {(4, 6), (5, 5), (6, 4)}
Favourable outcome = 3
Again, A doubled and sum is 10: (5, 5)
Favourable outcome = 1
Now, P(either doubled or a sum of 10 appears) = P(A doubled appear) + P(sum is 10) – P(A doubled appear and sum is 10)
⇒ P(either doubled or a sum of 10 appears) = \(\frac{6}{36} + \frac{3}{36} – \frac{1}{36}\)
= \(\frac{6 + 3 – 1}{36}\)
= \(\frac{8}{36}\)
= \(\frac{2}{9}\)
So, P(neither doubled nor a sum of 10 appears) = 1 – \(\frac{2}{9}\)
= \(\frac{7}{9}\)
