Question

A standard pair of six-sided dice is rolled. What is the probability of rolling a sum greater than 9

Answer 1

The probability is 1/6

Since we are rolling a pair of die, the number of expected results is 36

Sum that can be greater than 9 include;

4,6

6,4

5,5

6,5

6,6

This shows 6 out of a possible 36

So the probability will be 6/36 = 1/6
