The probability of getting a total of 7 or 11 when a pair of dice are tossed will be?
Explanation
When a pair of dice are tossed, there are 36 possible outcomes.
The combinations that result in a total of 7 or 11 are:
Total 7: (1,6), (2,5), (3,4), (4,3), (5,2), (6,1) = 6 outcomes
Total 11: (5,6), (6,5) = 2 outcomes
Total favorable outcomes = 6 + 2 = 8
Probability = (Number of favorable outcomes) / (Total possible outcomes)
Probability = 8/36 = 2/9
