Question

I a pair of standard dice are rolledwhat is the probability that the sumwill be greater than 7?

Answer 1

The total possible outcomes for the sum of the numbers from the roll of 2 dies is 36. Of these outcomes, 15 of them (8 to 12) are above 7 hence the probability that the sum will be greater than 7

= 15/36

= 5/12
