Question

haylee Rolls two number cubes. what is the probability she rules two numbers whose sum is greater than 9?

Answer 1

• 1/6 or 16.67%

-------------------

There are 6 sides on each cube, so there are a total of 6 x 6 = 36 possible outcomes.

The combinations that result in a sum greater than 9 are:

• (4,6), (5,5), (5,6), (6,4), (6,5), and (6,6)

There are 6 favorable outcomes.

Therefore, the probability of two numbers whose sum is greater than 9 is:

• 6/36 = 1/6 or ≈ 16.67%.
