Question

You roll two dice, what is the probability that two numbers you roll will be the sum of 3?

Answer 1

I would say `5.5%`

Explanation:

Consider the following diagram showing all the possible combinations:

As you can see, in pink are the only two options to get as a sum the number `3`. So our probability will be:

`"Probability"="number of possible outcomes giving 3"/"total number of outcomes"`

or

`P("event="3)=2/36=0.055` or `5.5%`
