Answer:

Probability (sum of the numbers ≥ 10) = 1/6

Explanation:

Given:

Number of Dice = 2

Total number on dice = 1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6

Find:

Probability (sum of the numbers ≥ 10)

Computation:

Total number of probability = 6 × 6

Total number of probability = 36

Sum of number greater than or equal to 10 are:

(4,6), (5,5), (5,6), (6,6), (6,4), (6,5)

Total number of outcomes = 6

Probability (sum of the numbers ≥ 10) = Total number of outcomes / Total number of probability

Probability (sum of the numbers ≥ 10) = 6 / 36

Probability (sum of the numbers ≥ 10) = 1/6
