Question

What is the probability of rolling a sum of 6 on a standard pair of six-sided dice? Express your answer as a fraction or a decimal number rounded to three decimal places, if necessary.

Answer 1

There are 36 possible outcomes when we rolled a pair of dice and out of these 36 outcomes 5 outcomes gives the sum of 6 these outcomes are, {1,5}, {2,4}, {3,3}, {4,2}, {5,1}

Therefore, P(sum 6) = 5/36 = 0.1388888

Henec, the probability of rolling a sum of 6 on a standarad pair of six-sided dixe is 0.139
