Question 946472: If you roll two dice what is the probability that sum of numbers on two dice will be 7?
Tip: P = number of cases with sum 7 over total possible number of cases.
Keep in mind, 6-1 and 1-6 considered as two different cases.
The same for 5-2, 2-5 and so on.
Simplify final fraction.

Look at all possible outcomes, there are 6%5E2=36 of them.
1-1 1-2 1-3 1-4 1-5 1-6
2-1 2-2 2-3 2-4 2-5 2-6
3-1 3-2 3-3 3-4 3-5 3-6
4-1 4-2 4-3 4-4 4-5 4-6
5-1 5-2 5-3 5-4 5-5 5-6
6-1 6-2 6-3 6-4 6-5 6-6
Of those 36, 6 of them sum to 7.
1-6 2-5 3-4 4-3 5-2 6-1
So,
P=6%2F36=1%2F6
