If you roll two dice, what’s the percentage that you’ll get 11 combining both numbers.
:-
Number of possible outcomes is 36
Number of outcomes that yield sum of 11 is two____(5,6) and (6,5)
P ( sum of 11 ) = 2/36 = 1/18
Each die has six numbers from 1 to 6.
Total number of combinations = 6² = 36
Combinations to get 11: (5,6) and (6,5)
Number of combination to get 11 = 2
Percentage of getting 11
= (2/36) × 100%
= (50/9)%
≈ 5.56% (to 3 sig. fig.)
11 = 5 + 6
P(5) = ¹⁄₆
P(6) = ¹⁄₆
P(11) = P (5) AND P(6) = ¹⁄₆ • ¹⁄₆ = ¹⁄₃₆..............ANS
2 in 36 (17:1) ....................
There are two outcomes (6-5 and 5-6) out of 36 total for a probability of 2/36 = 1/18. As a percentage. that's about 5.56% (5.555... precisely).
