Question 494402: Dice is a popular game in gambling casinos. Two dice are tossed, and various amounts are paid according to the outcome. In a certain game, if a five or twelve occurs on the first roll, the player wins. What is the probability of winning on the first roll?

Number of ways when five or twelve will occur = 5
i.e {(1,4),(4,1),(2,3),(3,2),(6,6)}
total number of possible ways = 6*6 = 36

probability = 5/36
