Question

If two dice are rolled, what is the probability that their sum will be a number greater than 5?

[A] 1/6
[B] 1/3
[C] 13/18
[D] 5/6
[E] None of these


I think it's [C], but that's just a wild guess.

Answer 1

the  combinations  5  or less are  1 1, 1 2, 2 1,  2 2,   3 1,  1 3,  4 1,   1 4
for  8/36  so,  28 out of   36   are 6 or more  
so 28/36   =7/9
