Question

Mina tossed two number cubes labeled 1 to 6.What is the probability that the sum is equal to 5

Answer 1

Hello there!

Firstly, let's figure out the total number of possible outcomes there are.
6 x 6 = 36

Therefore, the answer would be something out of 36.

The possible our comes that would make the sum of 5 would be:
1+4
2+3
3+2
4+1

So there are 4 possible outcomes that would make the sum of 5.


The answer would be 4/36.
However, you have to simplify the answer.
4/36 = 1/9

Thus, the final answer is 1/9



Hope this helped :D
