Question

A pair of dice is tossed. How do you find the probability with sum of the numbers is greater than 7?

Answer 1

I got `42%`

Explanation:

Tossing two dices we can have `36` different outcomes as shown in this diagram:

but only `15` that will get us a result `>7` (red triangle) that we can call event `A`;
so the probability of event `A` will be:

`p(A)=15/36=0.41bar6~~0.42`

or:

`42%`
