Question

In a simultaneous throw of two dice, what is the probability of getting a total of 6?

Answer 1

The probability of getting a total of 10 or 11 with two die thrown simultaneously is %13.89.

This breaks down as:

Getting a total of 10 is possible with a 4+6, 5+5 or a 6+4 for 3 of 36 possible combinations.

Getting a total of 11 is possible with a 5+6 or a 6+5 for 2 of 36 possible combinations.

Total probability is 5/36 or %13.89

Answer 2

total possible outcomes=36
P (sum is 6) =5/36

hope it helps ☺☺
