Correct answer: C
-
Let be the sum when two fair dice are rolled.
The possible values of are:
-
We need the event:
Let us check for each possible from onward.
-
Compare and :
-
For : So is false.
-
For : So is false.
-
For : So is true.
Now for all , factorial grows faster than powers of , so the inequality remains true.
Hence the favorable values are:
-
-
Total number of outcomes when two dice are rolled:
-
Unfavorable sums are only and .
- Sum : → outcome
- Sum : → outcomes
So unfavorable outcomes .
Therefore favorable outcomes:
-
Hence the required probability is:
So,
-
Compute:
-
Therefore the correct option is: which is option .
-
Comparison with stored answer:
Stored correct answer is , which corresponds to . This matches our derived answer.
