When Rolling a Pair of Dice, the Probability of Getting

question 8

Short Answer

When rolling a pair of dice, the probability of getting a particular total is not very high. For example, the probability of failing to roll a total of 3 is 17 times the probability of successfully rolling a total of 3. The total probability (probability of failing to roll a 3 + probability of successfully rolling a 3) is 1. What is the probability of rolling a 3?
