How many ways can a 3 come up ?

1 - 2

2 - 1

How many ways can a 5 come up ?

1 - 4

2 - 3

3 - 2

4 - 1

There are four ways to roll a 5, but only two ways to roll a 3.

So a sum of 5 is more likely.

Answer:

In my opinion, I think a sum of 5.

Explanation:

Since you are tossing two dice, you will likely get a higher value than 3.
