Question

In a single throw of two dice find the probability of getting a total of 10

Answer 1

Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

I assume you are working with a standard fair six-sided die. When rolling a six-sided die twice there are 36 equally likely outcomes, this is found by taking the number of outcomes, 6 (1–6) and raising it to the power of the number of events, two. 6^2 =36.

Of these 36 equally likely outcomes the only rolls that result in a sum of 9 are: (3,6) (4,5) (5,4) (6,3).

The probability is 4/36 which reduces to 1/9
