Question

Two dice are rolled. What is the probability that the sum will be 12?

Answer 1

The total number of possible outcomes equals the product of the possible outcomes for each dice. Then, that total number is equal to:

$6\times6=36$

From those possible outcomes, only one combination gives 12 as a result, which is 6 on both dices.

Then, the probability that the sum will be 12, is equal to:

$\frac{1}{36}$
