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 6.

Answer 1

13.89%

Explanation:

First you list the ways you can roll a die to get 6 and count how many combinations there are.

1 + 5

2 + 4

3 + 3

4 + 2

5 + 1

(5 Combinations)

Now you divide the number of desired outcomes (5) by the total number of outcomes (36)

5 ÷ 36 = 0.138888888888

Then you convert it to a percentage by moving the decimal over 2 times. Example: 13.88888888

Then I rounded it to the nearest hundredth. Ex: 13.89%.
