Answer:

Rolling a sum of 6: 5/36 or 13.9% chance

Rolling double: 1/6 or 16.7% chance

Explanation:

Probability of rolling a sum of 6:

1 + 5

2 + 4

3 + 3

4 + 2

5 + 1

So there are 5 chance of getting a sum of 6 in total of 36 probability outcomes. So there would be 5/36 or 13.9% chance of rolling a sum of 6

Probability of rolling a double:

1 and 1

2 and 2

3 and 3

4 and 4

5 and 5

6 and 6

So there are 6 chance of getting a double in total of 36 probability outcomes. So there would be 6/36 = 1/6 or 16.7% chance of rolling doubles.

Hope this help :3
