Question

What is the probability of rolling a sum of 5 when rolling 2 dice?

Answer 1

count the possibilities
(1,4), (2,3), (3,2), (4,1) four out of a total of 36 possibilities

Answer 2

so \(\frac{4}{36}\) which you might want to reduce to \(\frac{1}{9}\)

Answer 3

you can get 5 from:
1+4
2+5
3+2
4+1
4 satisfying answers out of 36 possibilities. So the probability is 4/36 or can be simplified into 1/9

Answer 4

thanks guys!
