Answer:

The probability of obtaining a sum of 7 = 1/6

Explanation:

Two sided dice are rolled.

The probability of obtaining the sum of 7 is.

The total space or Total sum or Total sample space = 6*6 = 36.

The possible occurrence that will sum to 7 are = 3,4) 4,3) 2,5) 5,2) 6,1) 1,6)

There are only six possible outcome out if 36 sample space

The probability of obtaining a sum of 7 = 6/36

The probability of obtaining a sum of 7 = 1/6
