Steve S. answered • 03/15/14 Tutoring in Precalculus, Trig, and Differential Calculus This table contains all the possible sums of 2 die: | 1 2 3 4 5 6 1 | 2 3 4 5 6 7 2 | 3 4 5 6 7 8 3 | 4 5 6 7 8 9 4 | 5 6 7 8 9 10 5 | 6 7 8 9 10 11 6 | 7 8 9 10 11 12 What's the probability the sum will be 5?: 4/36 = 1/9. What's the probability the sum will be >4 and <8: 15/36 = 5/12. Etc.
Adam S. answered • 03/15/14 Professional and Proficient Math Tutor To find the probability determine the number of successful outcomes divided by the number of possible outcomes overall. Each dice has six combinations which are independent. Therefore the number of possible outcomes will be 6*6 = 36. The number of successful outcomes will be the number of outcomes where the number of the dice adds up to five. There are four successful outcomes: (1)(4) (2)(3) (3)(2) (4)(1) The probability of rolling a pair of dice whose numbers add to 5 is 4/36 = 1/9.

Probability is a numerical description of how likely an event is to occur. The probability of an event is in the range from 0 to 1 where 0 represents the impossibility of the event and 1 represents certainty over the thing. When the probability is higher, then there are more chances to occur the event. Terms used in Probability The terms used in probability are experiment, random experiment, sample space, outcome, and event. Let’s take a look at the definitions of these terms in brief,
What is the probability of getting a sum of 5 or 6 when a pair of dice is rolled?Solution:
Sample ProblemsQuestion 1: Probability of getting at least (minimum) one head while tossing two coins simultaneously. Solution:
Question 2: Probability of getting a sum of even number while rolling two dice. Solution:
Question 3: Probability of getting a sum of multiple of 4 while rolling two dice. Solution:
Question 4: Probability of getting a product of 6 while rolling two dice. Solution:
What is the probability of getting a sum of 5?Now we can see that the sum 4 will be rolled with probability 3/36 = 1/12, and the sum 5 with probability 4/36 = 1/9. Below you can check our random "roll of dice" generator.
What is the probability of getting 5 when a dice is tossed?probability of getting five in throwing a dice is 1/6 .
