Question

When 3 dice are rolled what is the probability of getting a sum of 16?

Answer 1

The set of all possibilities for three six-sided dice number is 1-6 is 216.

Ways of getting a sum of 16 is

(4,6,6);(6,4,6);(6,6,4);(6,5,5);(5,5,6);(5,6,5) 6 ways.

P(16) = # ways to set 16/ set of all possibilities.

P(16) = 6/216 = 1/36
