Each die has 6 possible outcomes (the numbers from 1 to 6).

If we roll two dices, the total number of outcomes is 6 * 6 = 36.

From these outcomes, the ones that have a sum of 4 are:

(1, 3), (2, 2) and (3, 1).

So, if we have 3 wanted outcomes from a total of 36, the probability is:


P=(3)/(36)=(1)/(12)

Therefore the correct option is the second one.
