Question

If two fair dice are rolled, what is the probability that a total showing is more than two?

Answer 1

See if we make chart so...

(1,1) (1,2) (1,3) (1,4) (1,5) (1,6)

(2,1) (2,2) (2,3) (2,4) (2,5) (2,6)

(3,1) (3,2) (3,3) (3,4) (3,5) (3,6)

(4,1) (4,2) (4,3) (4,4) (4,5) (4,6)

(5,1) (5,2) (5,3) (5,4) (5,5) (5,6)

(6,1) (6,2) (6,3) (6,4) (6,5) (6,6)

here we have 36 outcomes so,

the probability that total showing =fav outcomes/total outcomes

so,

35/36

this is the probability
