Answer: 2/9
Step-by-step explanation:
Firstly, we need to know the total number of sample space of tossing two fair die.
Since a die has 6 faces, the total sample space when 'n' dice are tossed is 6^n. Tossing 2 dies, the total sample space will be 6² where n=2 which is 36.
Total outcome = 36
Probability that the outcome gives 7 or 11 will be {(2,5), (5,2), (6,1), (1,6), (4,3), (3,4), (6,5), (5,6)}
Possible outcome is the total element in the set which is 8
Therefore probability that the sum of the dots is 7 or 11 will be possible outcome/total outcome
This will give 8/36 = 2/9
