What is the probability of getting a sum of 5 6 or 7 when rolling two six sided fair dice?
Hence there are 11 outcomes (of the total of 36 outcomes) which give us the desired output. Hence probability of getting a sum of 6 or 7 is 1136 .
What is the probability that the sum is 6?
Probability of getting a total of 6 = 5/36.
How do you find the probability of rolling two dice?
Answer: The probability of rolling two dice and getting a sum of 4 is 1/12.
- The number of favorable outcomes = 3.
- Total number of possibilities = 36.
- Probability = The number of favorable outcomes / Total number of possibilities = 3 / 36 = 1/12.
What is the probability of rolling 2 dice and getting a sum of 7?
For each of the possible outcomes add the numbers on the two dice and count how many times this sum is 7. If you do so you will find that the sum is 7 for 6 of the possible outcomes. Thus the sum is a 7 in 6 of the 36 outcomes and hence the probability of rolling a 7 is 6/36 = 1/6.
What is the probability that the sum is 4?
Probability of getting a sum of 4 on one toss of two dice is 3/36, or 1/12.
