Q. Two dice are rolled. What is the probability that the sum of the numbers on the dice is 7?
A.
1/6
B.
1/12
C.
1/36
D.
5/36
Solution
The combinations that give a sum of 7 are (1,6), (2,5), (3,4), (4,3), (5,2), (6,1). There are 6 combinations out of 36 total outcomes, so the probability is 6/36 = 1/6.
