Question

You are playing a game with your friends, Alex and Jeff. The first player who rolls a total of seven using two number cubes gets to start the game. Explain how to find the probability that you will roll a total of seven on your first try.

A table can show all the possible sums for two number cubes. Using the table, there are 6 ways to get 7, and 36 possible sums, so the probability is 6/36 = 1/6.

Answer 2

The probability of rolling a 7 on 2 dices is
6/36 = 1/6
