Question

In Monopoly one rolls a pair of dice. Find the probability of getting a sum of 12. Round your answer to 3 digits after the decimal point.

Answer 1

the probability of rolling a sum of 12 on a pair of dice in Monopoly is approximately 0.028.

Explanation:

There are 6 possible outcomes on each die, so there are 6 x 6 = 36 possible outcomes when rolling a pair of dice. To find the probability of getting a sum of 12, we need to count the number of outcomes that add up to 12 and divide by the total number of outcomes.

The only way to get a sum of 12 is to roll a 6 on both dice. There is only 1 way to do this, so the number of outcomes that add up to 12 is 1.

Therefore, the probability of getting a sum of 12 is:

1/36 ≈ 0.028 (rounded to 3 decimal places)

So the probability of rolling a sum of 12 on a pair of dice in Monopoly is approximately 0.028.
