Answer:

1 / 18

Explanation:

In a roll of two dice :

Number of faces on a dice = 6

Total sample space for 2 6-sided dice = (number of faces)^Number of dice = 6^2 = 36

Total possible outcomes = 36

Required outcome = sum of 11

11 = {(5,6) ; (6, 5)}) = 2 possibilities

Probability = required outcome / Total possible outcomes

P(obtaining a sum of 11) = 2 / 36 = 1/18
