Dear Student

In throwing a dice, total possible outcomes = {1, 2, 3, 4, 5,
6}
n(S) = 6

For two dice, n(S) = 6 x 6 =36
Favourable cases where sum is 10 or more with 5 on first dice
{(5,5), (5,6)}

Event of getting sum is 10 or more with 5 on first dice = n(E) =
2

Probability of getting sum of 10 or more with 5 on first dice =
n(E)/n(S) = 2/36 = 1/18
