Question

You roll two dice. What is the probability of the event that you roll a total of two or twelve on the two dice?

Answer 1

0oh, thats a good one.

Answer 2

you have to work out every possible total for each type of roll, then see how many times twelve is possible, can you do it?

Answer 3

2/36 or 1/18

Answer 4

was that wrong, what i said, anyone else?

Answer 5

what you said is right, but there is only one way to roll a 12. ditto for a 2.

Answer 6

i think impusle made it two because two die are used...

Answer 7

impulse made it a 2 because there are 2 ways to roll 2 or 12 with 2 dice.

Answer 8

There are 36 possible rolls that are all independent of the 36, 2 of them are 2 and 12

Answer 9

oh,, two possible rolls, that explains it.

Answer 10

Possible rows are:
die 1 die 2
1 1
1 2
1 3
1 4
1 5
1 6
2 1
2 2
2 3
2 4
2 5
2 6
....and so on
so there are 6+6+6+6+6+6=6(6)=36

P(rolling 2)=1/36
P(rolling 12)=1/36
P(rolling 2 or 12)=1/36+1/36=2/36=1/18

Answer 11

there you go lol
