Question

Two number cubes each labeled one through six are rolled. what is the probability of rolling a sum greater than nine? 

Answer 1

5/36 or 0.14 or 14%

Explanation:

Possible ways to get a sum greater than 9:

4+6, 6+4, 5+6, 6+5, 6+6 (5 "positive" outcomes)

Total possible outcomes: 36

Probability = number of positive outcomes ÷ total possible outcomes

= 5 ÷ 36

≈ 0.14 = 14%
