Question

You are playing a game that uses two fair number cubes. If the total on the number cubes is either 2 or 5 on your next turn, you win the game. What is the probability of winning on your next turn? Express your answer as a percent. If necessary, round your answer to the nearest tenth.

Answer 1

13.9%

Step-by-step explanation:

Rolling for 2 : (1, 1)

Rolling for 5 : (1, 4), (4, 1), (2, 3), (3, 2)

So, there are (4 + 1) = 5 possible outcomes out of 36 outcomes

Note: There are 36 outcomes when rolling a two fair cubes.

`\sf Probability = (possible \ outcomes)/(Total \ outcomes)`

`\rightarrow \sf (5)/(36) \ x \ 100`

`\rightarrow \sf \frac{125}9} \%`

`\rightarrow \sf 13.9 \%`
