Question

Leon is going to toss two number cubes, each labeled 1-6. What is the probability that Leon will toss a sum of 6?

Answer 1

Answer:

$\dfrac{5}{36}$

Step-by-step explanation:

When tossing two number cubes, Leon can get  such sample space

$\begin{array}{cccccc}(1,1)&(1,2)&(1,3)&(1,4)&(1,5)&(1,6)\\(2,1)&(2,2)&(2,3)&(2,4)&(2,5)&(2,6)\\(3,1)&(3,2)&(3,3)&(3,4)&(3,5)&(3,6)\\(4,1)&(4,2)&(4,3)&(4,4)&(4,5)&(4,6)\\(5,1)&(5,2)&(5,3)&(5,4)&(5,5)&(5,6)\\(6,1)&(6,2)&(6,3)&(6,4)&(6,5)&(6,6)\\\end{array}$

There are 36 possible outcomes. Only (1,5), (2,4), (3,3), (4,2), (5,1) gives the sum of 6.

Hence, the probability that Leon will toss a sum of 6 is

$\dfrac{5}{36}$
