Question

The outcome of rolling a pair of dice consists of two numbers.

The two tables below list all of the possible outcomes:
What is the probability that the two dice show the same number?
A.0.17
B.0.19
C.0.33
D.0.14

Answer 1

There are 36 outcomes with 6 of them being the same number. So the fraction is 6/36 which is 1/6 simplified. 1/6 as a fraction is 0.1666666....which rounds to 0.17.
