The sample space diagram is

3 | 4 | 5 | 6

2 5 | 6 | 7 | 8

3 6 | 7 | 8 | 9

3 6 | 6 | 8 | 9

The probability of scoring a total of 9 is 1/6.

What is probability?

Probability is the numerical assessment of the likelihood or chance of an event happening, expressing uncertainty in a measurable way.

The sample space diagram is

3 | 4 | 5 | 6

2 5 | 6 | 7 | 8

3 6 | 7 | 8 | 9

3 6 | 6 | 8 | 9

From the table

Outcomes are 5, 6, 7, 8, 6, 7, 8, 9, 6, 7 ,8,9

Number of total outcones = 12

Total number of outcomes which are 9 = 2

Probability = favoured outcome/Total number of possible outcomes

P(total of 9) = Number of 9/Total number of outcomes

P(total of 9) = 2/12

P(total of 9) = 1/6

Therefore,the probability of scoring a total of 9 is 1/6.
