Answer:

When we roll two dice, the possibility of getting number 4 is (1, 3), (2, 2), and (3, 1).

Explanation:

The probability of rolling two dice and getting a sum of 4 is 1/12. Let's find how likely we get a sum of 4 when we roll two dice simultaneously. So, when we roll two dice there are 6 × 6 = 36 possibilities. So...when we roll two dice, the possibility of getting number 4 is (1, 3), (2, 2), and (3, 1).
