Question

If two dies are toced together what is the probability of having sum of 5 as the outcome

Answer 1

First, there are 6 possible numbers that can come up on the first die and 6 possible on the second die. How many total possible combinations are there for the 2 dice?

Answer 2

how many ways are there to make 5 with two dice:
1+4
2+3
there are 2 ways to obtain a sum of 5.
now how many total possible outcomes are there, use your equation for this?

Answer 3

ps, order Doesn't matter

Answer 4

The problem with that approach is that you have a higher choice of rolling a 2 and 4 than a 3 and 3.....To get 2 and 4 you can roll a 2 then a 4 or a 4 then a 2...To get double 3's you have to get a 3 followed by a 3.

There are 36 possible rolls (6 possibilites on 1st die x 6 on the 2nd).
Out of these combinations, 4 sum to 5: 14 23 32 41
4 / 36 ..... and then you just simplify that fraction.
