What is the probability that the sum of two dice is 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 of rolling 2 dice and getting a sum of 6?
5/36
Answer: The probability of rolling a sum of 6 with two dice is 5/36.
What is the probability in that the rolls of two 6 sided dice add up to either 5 or 6?

| Roll a… | Probability |
|---|---|
| 3 | 3/36 (8.333\%) |
| 4 | 6/36 (16.667\%) |
| 5 | 10/36 (27.778\%) |
| 6 | 15/36 (41.667\%) |
What is the probability of getting a sum of either 2 6 or 7 on a roll of two dice?
1136
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 of a sum of 7 or 11?
2/9
So, P(sum of 7 or 11) = 2/9.
What is the probability of rolling two dice with six sides?
Since there are six rows, there are six possible outcomes where the sum of the two dice is equal to seven. The number of total possible outcomes remains 36. Again, we find the probability by dividing the event frequency (6) by the size of the sample space (36), resulting in a probability of 1/6. 2. Two six-sided dice are rolled.
What is the probability of rolling a 1 on a die?
If the die is fair (and we will assume that all of them are), then each of these outcomes is equally likely. Since there are six possible outcomes, the probability of obtaining any side of the die is 1/6. The probability of rolling a 1 is 1/6, the probability of rolling a 2 is 1/6, and so on.
What is the probability of getting any side of the die?
A standard die has six sides printed with little dots numbering 1, 2, 3, 4, 5, and 6. If the die is fair (and we will assume that all of them are), then each of these outcomes is equally likely. Since there are six possible outcomes, the probability of obtaining any side of the die is 1/6.
What is the probability of rolling a sum out of set?
The probability of rolling a sum out of the set, not lower than X – like the previous problem, we have to find all results which match the initial condition, and divide them by the number of all possibilities. Taking into account a set of three 10 sided dice, we want to obtain a sum at least equal to 27.
