Question

Probability :
what is the proabability that the total of the 2 dice is even or that the total is less than 5 ?

Answer 1

there are 11 possiblities for the total of 2 dice from 2 till 12. between 2 and 12 there are 6 even numbers so the probability of having an even number is 6/11

Answer 2

Answer 3

5/9

Answer 4

three different answers lol which one is the right one

Answer 5

To answer this you need to look at every possible scenario. When doing this I would draw a grid like this:

1 2 3 4 5 6
1
2
3
4
5
6

now fill in what the sum of the dice are:

1 2 3 4 5 6

1 2 3 4 5 6 7
2 3 4 5 6 7 8
3 4 5 6 7 8 9
4 5 6 7 8 9 10
5 6 7 8 9 10 11
6 7 8 9 10 11 12

now look at which scenario fit what you're looking for:

1 2 3 4 5 6

1 2 3 4 6
2 3 4 6 8
3 4 6 8
4 6 8 10
5 6 8 10
6 8 10 12

now you can count them and you can see there are 20 favorable solutions out of 36 possible solutions. 20/36 = 5/9
