You can put this solution on YOUR website! Two dice are rolled. The probability that their sum equals 5 or more is _____. Enter your answer as a fraction using the "/".
--------------------------------------
P(sum of 2): 1/36
P(sum of 3): 2/36
P(sum of 4): 3/36
---
P(sum of 5 or more) = 1 - [1/36 + 2/36 + 3/36]
= 1 - 6/36
= 1 - 1/6
= 5/6
