when rolling 2 6-sided numbers cubes what are the chances the sum of the roll will be 7

1 answer

There are 36 possible outcomes when rolling two 6-sided number cubes. To find the number of outcomes that result in a sum of 7, we can list all possible combinations:
1 + 6
2 + 5
3 + 4
4 + 3
5 + 2
6 + 1

So, there are 6 possible outcomes that result in a sum of 7. Therefore, the probability of rolling a sum of 7 is 6/36 or 1/6 or about 0.167 or 16.7 percent.
