Question

In rolling two dice, what is the probability that the sum of the two numbers on the dice will be 4?

A: 1 over 12
B: 3
C: 11 over 12
D: 2 over 3

Answer 1

A

Explanation:

If the dice are fair and 6 sided then you can roll a 4 in three ways

2 2

1 3

3 1

The total number of ways you can throw two 6 sided dice is 6 * 6 or 36

So P(4) = 3/36 = 1/12
