Question

Two dice are rolled. What is the probability of the event that you roll a total of seven OR eleven on the two dice? Reduce fractions to lowest terms.

Answer 1

I got 5/ 18 as final answer is that right? @vinnv226

Answer 2

You could write out all the 36 outcomes from rolling two dice and circle the ones that sum to 7 or 11. Or, we could just figure out which ones will. How can you make 7 with two dice? How can you make 11 with two dice?

Answer 3

theres 6 possibilities to get a sum of 7 & 2 possibilities to get a sum of 11!!!!

Answer 4

so is it just 6/ 36 + 2/36???

Answer 5

which is 8/36 which BECOMES 5/ 18???

Answer 6

Make 11=(5,6) or (6,5)=2 outcomes
Make 7 =(1,6) or (6,1) or (2,5) or (5,2) or (3,4) or (4,3)=6 outcomes

So the answer is 8/36 which becomes 4/18, not 5/18

Answer 7

You can then simplify this further to 2/9

Answer 8

write out all the combinations to get 7 or 11 as sum

Answer 9

yes ok. that's right then
