Question

Dan rolls 2 fair dice and adds the results from each. Work out the probability of getting a total less than 3.

Answer 1

1 / 36

Explanation:

A roll of 2 fair dice :

Total number of possible outcomes = n² ; n = number of faces in a dice = 6² = 36

Probability = required outcome / Total possible outcomes

Required outcome = total less than 3 = 1 (from sample space provided)

Hence,

P(total less than 3) = 1/36
