Question

A standard pair of six sided dice is rolled what is the probability of rolling a sum less than 10 express your answer as a fraction or decimal number rounded to four decimal places

Answer 1

Explanation:

To solve this, we will use the table below

The total number of sample space is given below as

$n(S)=36$

The total number on the sum table of the two die that is less than 10 is

$n(R)=30$

From the image below, it can be indicated

Hence,

The probability of rolling a sum less than 10 will be

$\frac{n(R)}{n(S)}=\frac{30}{36}=\frac{5}{6}$

Hence,

The final answer is

$\Rightarrow\frac{5}{6}$
