Question

What is the probability of getting a sum of 7 on a roll of two dice?

• A. 7/12
• B. 1/11
• C. 1/6
• D. 2/3

Answer 1

The correct option is C

1/6

There are six outcomes that give a sum of 7: (1,6), (2,5), (3,4), (4,3), (5,2) and (6,1).
Since there are 36 possible outcomes, the required probability is $\frac{6}{36}$ = $\frac{1}{6}$.
