Question

find the probability of rolling a sum of 12 with 2 dice

Answer 1

the question is "how many ways can you roll a total of 12 on two dice?"

Answer 2

yes

Answer 3

numbers are 1,2,3,4,5,6

you have two sets of them

what combinations will add up to 12?

(only 6+6)

therefore, you have a 1/6 * 1/6 chance to get 12, as the chance of rolling a 6 on each die is 1/6

Answer 4

no theres 4+2
3+3
2+4
5+1
6+0

Answer 5

none of those add up to 12

Answer 6

3+3 = 12?

Answer 7

oh okay nvr mind

Answer 8

i thought it was 6

Answer 9

it's not 1/6 though

Answer 10

6 is the number you need to roll on each die. you have 6 numbers on dice, so therefore you have a 1/6 chance to roll a 6.

but you don't want 6, you want 12. so you need to roll a 1/6 chance twice. or in other words:

1/6 * 1/6

Answer 11

1/36
