Two dice are rolled. What is the probability that the sum will be 12?

The total number of possible outcomes equals the product of the possible outcomes for each dice. Then, that total number is equal to:


6*6=36

From those possible outcomes, only one combination gives 12 as a result, which is 6 on both dices.

Then, the probability that the sum will be 12, is equal to:


(1)/(36)
