Answer 1

The answer is 1/9. I don't know the step.What did u write in exam

Answer 2

You have the following pairs that add up to 4:

(1, 3), (3, 1), (2, 2)

Since each die has 6 faces, and there are two dice, this means we have a total of 6×6=366×6=36 possibilities.

Since we have three pairs that add up to 4, this means we have a probability of 
3/36==1/12.
