since rolling a dice can give you 36 possible combinations, there are 1/9 chances that you will get a sum of 5.
1+4
2+3
3+2
4+1
the 4 equations above will produce a sum of 5
so,the probability is 4/36, or 1/9.

A pair of dice are rolled What is the probability sum 12?
There is one way to roll a sum of 12. There are 36 different outcomes from rolling a pair of dice. Therefore, the probability is 1/36 ~= 0.0278 = 2.78%
When rolling a pair of fair dice what is the probability that the sum of the dice on one roll will be seven?
It is 6/36 = 1/6.
Is it unusual to get a 12 when a pair of dice is rolled?
no it is not unusual to get a 12 as it is impossible to know what you will get as. it is based on a number of factors like the size of die or speed of throwing etc. so it is not unusual to get a 12
What is the probability of getting a total of 7 when rolling two dice?
The least error prone way of doing this is to draw a 6x6 square of all the possiblities when rolling a pair of dice, where one is red and one blue, and work out the proportion of the combinations that sum to 7.
What is the probability of rolling a sum of 8 on at least one of two rolls of a pair of number cubes?
The probability of rolling a sum of 8 on one roll of a pair of dice is 5/36.The probability of not rolling a sum of 8 on one roll of a pair of dice is 31/36.The probability of rolling a sum of 8 twice on two rolls of a pair of dice is(5/36)(5/36) = (5/36)2 .The probability of rolling first a sum of 8 and then rolling a sum that is not 8 on thesecond roll is (5/36)(31/36).The probability of rolling a sum that is not 8 on the first roll and rolling a sum of 8in the second roll is (31/36)(5/36).So The probability of rolling a sum of 8 at least one of two rolls of a pair of dice is(5/36)2 + (5/36)(31/38) + (31/36)(5/36) = 0.258487654... ≈ 25.8%.
What is he probability that the sum of a pair of dice when rolled is six?
If the dice are fair then it is 5/36.
What is the probability of a sum of 5 being rolled if you rolled a pair of dice?
It is 1/9.
A pair of dice are rolled find the probability at least one dice is a 4?
When rolling one die, the probability of getting a 4 is 1 in 6, or 0.1667. If two dice are rolled, you get two unrelated chances of rolling at least one 4, so the probability is 2 in 6, or 0.3333.
Is it significant to get a twelve when a pair of dice is rolled with probability of less than or equal to five tenth?
The probability to get a 12, with two dice, is 1/36.
A pair of dice are rolled What is the probability sum 12?
There is one way to roll a sum of 12. There are 36 different outcomes from rolling a pair of dice. Therefore, the probability is 1/36 ~= 0.0278 = 2.78%
What is the probability of getting the sum of 8 from a pair of dice?
It is 5/36.
Pair of fair dice is rolled once Find the probability that the sum of dots on the faces is 9?
Prob = 4/36 = 1/9
Find the probability of getting a total of 8 in a pair of dice is tossed?
5/36 or 13.9%.
A pair of dice is rolled What is the problability fo getting a sum of 2?
Assuming you meant a standard pair of dice, only 1 and 1 add to 2, since there are no negatives, and numbers only stretch up to 6, and due to that, there is no 0. Therefore, 1/36 is the probability (probability of rolling a 1, 1/6, probability of rolling a 1, 1/6, 1/6(1/6) = 1/36).
What is the probability of rolling the sum of two if you roll a pair of dice sixty times?
The probability of getting a sum of 2 at least once is 0.8155
