Question

Find the probability. Two 6-sided dice are rolled. What is the probability that the sum of the two numbers on the dice will be greater than 10?
A. 1/12
B. 5/18
C. 3
D. 1/18
I think it would be three but I haven't picked it yet because it didn't say 3/12 or 1/4.

Answer 1

ok so i went wrong when i just added 6+6 i didnt multiply it and i also included ten.

Answer 2

The sample space has 36 possible combinations of numbers. These can be set out in column form as follows:
6,6 5,6 4,6 3,6 2,6 1,6
6,5 5,5 4,5 3,5 2,5 1,5
6,4 5,4 4,4 3,4 2,4 1,4
6,3 5,3 4,3 3,3 2,3 1,3
6,2 5,2 4,2 3,2 2,2 1,2
6,1 5,1 4,1 3,1 2,1 1,1
How many of the outcomes add up to 11 or greater?
