Question

Melissa rolls 2 fair dice and adds the results from each. Work out the probability of getting a total of 12

Answer 1

The probability of getting a total of 12 is 1/36

Further explanation:

When two fair-dices are rolled, and the total outcomes are 36.

Which means that our sample space has 36 elements

$n(S)=36$

Let A be the event that the sum of both dice are 12

Only one outcome from the sample space sums up to 12

A = {(6,6)}

So,

$n(A) = 1$

$P(A)=\frac{n(A)}{n(S)}$

=1/36

The probability of getting a total of 12 is 1/36
