Question

Two dice are tossed. Find the probability of getting the sum of the

dice equal to 16. (Hint: Draw a tree diagram of the possibilities of
two tosses of a die, and then find the sum of the numbers on
each branch.)

Answer 1

Explanation:

If you are talking about a die with 6 faces, then 16 isn't possible. 12 is the highest possible number.

If you are talking about some other kind of die, you have to specify it.

I'm going to assume you made a mistake and meant 6.

There are 5 ways to get six

3 - 3

4 - 2

2 - 4

5 - 1

1 - 5

There are 36 ways of throwing 2 dice.

So the probability = 5/36 = 0.1389

If you really did mean 16 then the probability = 0
