Question

The two dice are rolled. what is the theoretical chance that they land to form a sum of 11?

Answer 1

Answer:

Propability of getting either sum is 2/9

Step-by-step explanation:

Well, we know that there are 36 total arrangements of the two six sided die. So we have a possibility of 3,4 and 4,3. Likewise, we have a possibility of 5,2 and 2,5. We also have a possibility of 1,6 and 6,1. That takes care of the probability That you get two die that add up to 7. Now for 11, you have 5,6 and 6,5. So since you asked for the probability of getting either or, you add all the probabilities, which is 6/36+2/36=8/36=2/9. So the probability of getting either sum is 2/9.
