Question

you roll two dice. what is the probability that the sum of the dice is less than 6 and one die shows a 2?

Answer 1

i think its 1/2

Answer 2

10:12

Answer 3

2,1 2,2 2,3
1,2 3,2
so, 5/12

Answer 4

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

Just count the number of combinations where one die shows a two and the sum is less than 6. Divide the total by 36 to find the required probability.
