Question

A single die is rolled twice. The 36​ equally-likely outcomes are shown to the right. Find the probability of getting two numbers whose sum is 10 .

Answer 1

The probability of getting two numbers whose sum is 10 is 25%.

Explanation:

Given that a single die is rolled twice, and there are 36 equally-likely outcomes, to find the probability of getting two numbers whose sum is 10 the following calculation must be performed:

1 = +9

2 = +8

3 = +7

4 = +6

5 = +5

6 = +4

7 = +3

8 = +2

9 = +1

9/36 = 0.25

Therefore, the probability of getting two numbers whose sum is 10 is 25%.
