Question

Ulet rolls 2 fair dice and adds the results from each. Work out the probability of getting a total of 7.

Answer 1

Answer:

7/ 36

Step-by-step explanation:

Roll of 2 fair six sided die :

Sample space = 6² = 36

Sum of 7:

(1,6) ; (6,1) ; (3,4) ; (4,3) ; (2,5) ; (5,2) = 6

Probability = required outcome / Total possible outcomes

Required outcome = 7

Total possible outcomes = 36

P(obtaining a sum of 7) = 7 / 36
