Question

Two 6 sided dice are tossed what is the probability of getting a sum of 5 or less

Answer 1

You have to consider all possible outcomes: you can get
sum = 2, or sum = 3, or sum = 4, or sum =5

Then you just find out the probabilities P(sum = 2), P(sum = 3), P(sum = 4), P(sum = 5), and add them all together,

For example: P(sum = 3) is 2/36 = 1/18 (since you can roll either (1,2) or (2,1) ).

Answer 2

5/12 7/12 are your proportions
