Question

If I roll two six-sides dice, what is the probability that the sum of the numbers that show up on the dice is 3 or less?

Answer 1

Answer:

1/12

Step-by-step explanation:

first we have to find all the possibilities of getting a sum of 3 or less: 1+1 or 1+2 and we count the second combination 2 times because the numbers can be on either of the dices so we have a total of 3 possibilities. all the possible pairimg of dice are 6*6=36 because each dice has 6 sides and we can get either of them. so the probability would be the chance of getting a sum of 3 or less divided by all the diff combination which equals 3/36 or 1/12 which is roughly around 8.3%
