Question: two dice are thrown simultaneously. find the probability of getting a sum 11?
Answer: The total number of possibilities is 6 for the first die and 6 for the second. Since each throw on the first die could be paired with any of the six on the second, the total ways the dice could fall is 6 × 6 = 36. So the probability of getting 11 or more is 3/36 = 1/12.
