Each of the questions in this box
pertains to rolling
a pair of fair dice.

Find the probability that the sum is more than 10.

Expert Solution
Step 1

For each dice, there are 6 possible outcomes. So when two dice are rolled then the possible number of outcomes= 6×6=36.

 

We can get sum of more than 10 for the outcomes= (5,6),(6,5),(6,6)

So total 3 outcomes give the sum more than 10.
