Suppose you roll 2 dice. Find the probability of rolling a sum of 7.

OpenStudy (anonymous):

1 out of 12

OpenStudy (anonymous):

because there are a possible of 6 on each dice, so in all it would be 12 because 6+6, so it would be 1 out of 12

welcome to open study (:

Here are the possibilities for two dice to equal 7: $$ \begin{matrix} 6&1\\ 1&6\\ 5&2\\ 2&5\\ 4&3\\ 3&4 \end{matrix} $$ There are 6*6=36 possible outcomes, but only 6 ways to get an outcome that equals 7, so your probability is $$ {6\over36}={1\over6} $$

It is 1/12
