Answer:
5/12.
Step-by-step explanation:
The possible outcomes when second die is less than the first are as follows:
6 and a number < 6 - 5 outcomes.
5 and a number < 5 - 4 outcomes.
4 and < 4 - 3 outcomes.
3 and < 3 - 2 outcomes.
2 and a 1 - 1 outcome.
Total of these = 15 outcomes.
The sample space ( that is the number of all possible outcomes) = 6*6 = 36.
So the required probability = 15/36
= 5/12.
