ConceptProbability - A Theoretical Approach

#### Question

Two dice (each bearing numbers 1 to 6) are rolled together. Find the probability that the sum of the numbers on the upper-most faces of two dice is:

between 5 and 8

#### Solution

When two dice rolled, total number of possible outcomes = 36

Favorable outcomes for the sum of number between 5 and 8 i.e, 6 or 7 are:

{(1,5)(1,6)(2,4)(2,5)(3,3)(3,4)(4,2)(4,3)(5,1)(5,2)(6,1)}

Number of favorable outcomes = 11

p(getting a sum of 6 or 7 = 11/36
