Question

Two dice are rolled. Find the probability that the sum of the numbers on the two dice is 4.

5/36

1/12

1/6

21/65

(I’m thinking the answer is 1/6 but I’m not sure)

Answer 1

1//12.

Explanation:

The possible ways to get a sum of 4 are (1, 3), (3, 1), (2, 2) .

There are a total of 6 * 6 = 36 possible outcomes when 2 dice are rolled.

Thus the probability of the sum being 4 = 3 / 36 = 1/12 (answer).
