Question

You roll two dice. What is the probability of the event that you roll a total of three or eleven on the two dice?
answer in the form of a fraction. Reduce fractions to their lowest terms.

Answer 1

Only way to make a sum of 3 is to get 1,2 or 2,1. Similarly, only way to make 11 is to roll 5,6 or 6,5. Hence there is 4 possibilities. The total number of possibilities of what you can roll on the two dice is 6 x 6 = 36. So the probability of the rolled numbers to add to 3 or 11 would be 4/36 = 1/9.
