Hi,
When rolling a pair of standard dice. 36 ways it can happen
what is the probability of rolling a sum that is less than 10?
P(sum < 10) = 1 - P (rolling sum ≥ 10) = 1- 6/36 = 30/36 = 5/6
P(sum < 10) = 5/6 0r .8333
know if it should be left as a fraction 0r decimal (rounded off as directed).
Wish You the Best in your Studies.
