24. A die is thrown twice. What is the probability that (i) 5 will not come up either time? (ii) 5 will come up at least once? [Hint : Throwing a die twice and throwing two dice simultaneously are treated as the same experiment] [^2]25. Which of the following arguments are correct and which are not correct? Give reasons for your answer. (i) If two coins are tossed simultaneously there are three possible outcomes-two heads, two tails or one of each. Therefore, for each of these outcomes, the probability is 13\frac{1}{3}. (ii) If a die is thrown, there are two possible outcomes - an odd number or an even number. Therefore, the probability of getting an odd number is 12\frac{1}{2}.
