Not a 100% positive but I believe that your answer would be C.

Answer with Step-by-step explanation:

P(Event)=no. of favorable outcomes/total no. of outcomes

Sample Space on throwing two standard number cubes is:

(1,1) (2,1) (3,1) (4,1) (5,1) (6,1)

(1,2) (2,2) (3,2) (4,2) (5,2) (6,2)

(1,3) (2,3) (3,3) (4,3) (5,3) (6,3)

(1,4) (2,4) (3,4) (4,4) (5,4) (6,4)

(1,5) (2,5) (3,5) (4,5) (5,5) (6,5)

(1,6) (2,6) (3,6) (4,6) (5,6) (6,6)

Total outcomes=36

Outcomes with combined result of the two standard number cubes is exactly 7, or that it is greater than (but not equal to) 10=9

Hence, P(combined result of the two standard number cubes is exactly 7, or that it is greater than (but not equal to) 10)=9/36

= 1/4

= 0.25

Hence, correct option is:

C 0.25
