Question

What is the probability of rolling a sum of 11 on a standard pair of six-sided dice? express your answer as a fraction or a decimal number rounded to three decimal places, if necessary?

Answer 1

The probability of rolling a sum of 11 on a standard pair of six-sided dice is 1/18 or approximately 0.055.

Step-by-step explanation:

To find the probability of rolling a sum of 11 on a standard pair of six-sided dice, we need to determine the number of favorable outcomes and divide it by the total number of possible outcomes.

There are two ways to roll an 11: rolling a 5 on the first die and a 6 on the second die, or rolling a 6 on the first die and a 5 on the second die.

The total number of possible outcomes when rolling two six-sided dice is 6 x 6 = 36.

Thus, the probability of rolling a sum of 11 is 2/36, which can be simplified to 1/18 or approximately 0.055 rounded to three decimal places.

Answer 2

I think it would have to be 5 and 6 because those two make up 11 when you add them. hope this helps
