Question

A pair of dice is rolled. What is the probability that the sum is 11?

Answer 1

1/18

Explanation:

Number of possible outcomes:

• 6*6= 36 as each dice has 6 sides and it is combination of them

Number of favorable outcomes:

• 6+5= 11

or

• 5+6= 11

Total of 2 outcomes giving 11 as a sum of two dice.

Probability of getting the sum of 11 is:

• Probability= Number of total outcomes/Number of favorable outcomes
• P= 2/36= 1/18
