HEY YOU MATH GENIUS'S!!! ANSWER MY QUESTION PLS!!!
I already asked once so I guess once isn't enough for you...

If two dice are rolled, what is the probability that their sum will be a number greater than 5?

[A] 1/6
[B] 1/3
[C] 13/18
[D] 5/6
[E] None of these


I think it's [C], but that's just a wild guess.

Answer 1

THE ANSWER IS D...........

Answer 2

Hello!

There are only six was to to role a number less than four. 1 and 1. 1 and 2. 2 and 1. 1 and 3. 2 and 2. 3 and 3 and 1.

The first number on the die could be 1, and the second die could have a probability of rolling the second number on it. Giving us a probability of 1/6.

We can subtract the calculated probability from rolling less than four from 1 to find the probability of rolling more than 5:

1 - 1/6 = 5/6

So, your answer should be D 5/6.
