Question 952795: )I want to learn closely on Hillary rolls 2 number cubes numbered 1 through 6 while playing her favorite board game. She will get a second turn if she rolls a sum that is an odd number greater than 10.
What are Hillary's chances of getting a second turn when she rolls the number cubes?

There are 36 possible outcomes when rolling two dice, and only two (a 6 and 5, or a 5 and 6) result in an odd number greater than ten (i.e, an eleven). That means you have two chances in thirty six (or one chance in 18) that she will roll an eleven. Or(1/18)(100%) a probability of about 5.6%.
