Question

A pair of ordinary dice is rolled. What is the probability that each die will show a number higher than 4. 1. (1/36) 2. (1/12) 3. (1/6) 4. (1/4) 5. (1/3)

Answer 1

the answer is 1/12

Explanation:

it is 1/12 because if there are only a pair you would have 2 dice. and since each die has numbers all the way up to 6 all you have to do is add them. and don't count all the numbers. like add 1+2+3+4+5+6. that's just plain wrong just do add the highest number on each die (6+6)
