Question 747116: If 2 fair dice are rolled what is the probability that the sum is at least 10

First, we need to see how many combinations of numbers => 10.
6+6 or
6+5 or
6+4 or
5+6 or
5+5 or
4+6 or
Next we see the total number of possible outcomes from 2 dice:
6*6=36
Now we calculate the probability using the formula:
number of possible outcomes in the event we are looking for/number of total possible outcomes. In this case it is 6/36 which can be reduced to 1/6. So:
P (sum >=10)= 1/6
