Suppose you have two six-sided dice where each side is equally likely to land face up when rolled. What is the probability that you will roll a sum of twelve?

Answer:
1/36

Explanation:

The only possible case is that each die shows a 6.

The probability of one die showing a 6 when rolled is 1/6.

So, the probability both dice show a 6 is
(1/6)^2 =1/36.
