Asingle die is rolled twice. the 36 equally-likely outcomes are shown to the right. find the probability of getting two numbers whose sum is 5.

Given: A single die is rolled twice.

To Find: Probability of getting two numbers whose sum is 5.

Solution: The required probability is \frac{1}{9}[/tex]

Explanation:

When we roll a die once, there are 6 possible outcomes.

When we roll the same die once again, there will be a total of 6*6=36 possible outcomes.

This is the set of total possible outcomes

Now let us see the number of outcomes of getting two numbers whose sum is 5. This is possible when a 1 and 4 are rolled (1,4) and (4,1) or when a 2 and 3 are rolled (2,3) and (3,2).

Thus, there are 4 possible outcomes for this.

Therefore the probability will be

well there are two answers for that.

1: you need 120 ones then that will equal up to 120.

2: you could also do one 100 and 2 tens.

those are the answers that i have thought of.
