Question

Two number cubes, each with the numbers 1 through 6, are rolled. What is the probability that the sum of the rolled numbers is 2?

Answer 1

1/36

Explanation:

The only way to get a sum of 2 with two dice is to roll 1s on both. there is one 1 on each dice, so you have a 1/6th chance for each. that gives you

1/6 × 1/6

which solves for your answer of

1/36
