Assuming you mean when rolling 2 dice, the probability is the number of ways of getting the sum of 5 over the number of possible outcomes.
4 ways of getting 5 (1+4; 2+3; 3+2; 4+1)
36 outcomes (6 x 6)
the probability is 4/36 = 1/9

When two dice are rolled find the probability of getting a 6 or 7?
Probability that the sum is 6 = 5/36 Probability that the sum is 7 = 6/36
What is the probability of getting the sum of 8 from a pair of dice?
It is 5/36.
What is the probability of getting a sum greater than 5 if you roll 2 dice?
The probability is 26/36 = 13/18.
What is the probability of rolling a sum of eleven with two number cubes?
The probability of getting 11 is 2/36 = 1/18. This is because of the 36 ways the dice might land, two of them sum to 11, namely 5 + 6 and 6 + 5.
If two dice are rolled find the probability of getting a sum greater than 7?
It is 15/36 = 5/12
When two dice are rolled find the probability of getting a 6 or 7?
Probability that the sum is 6 = 5/36 Probability that the sum is 7 = 6/36
What is the probability of getting the sum of 8 from a pair of dice?
It is 5/36.
What is the probability of getting a sum of six on a six sided dice?
5/36
What is the probability that the sum of the numbers from two rolled dice result in a perfect square or even number?
Part1: Finding probability of getting sum as a perfect square. Maximum sum of both the dice is (6+6) equal to 12. Up to 12, the perfect squares are: 1, 4 and 9. Getting a sum of 1 from two dice is not possible. So, we are left with 4 and 9. To get 4, the combination can be: (2,2) or (1,3) or (3,1). This means, to get the sum as 4, the probability is [3/36]. To get 9, the combination can be: (3,6) or (6,3) or (5,4) or (4,5). This means, to get the sum as 9, the probability is [4/36]. Therefore,the total probability of getting the sum as a perfect square is: [(3/36)+(4/36)]=[7/36]. Part2: Finding the probability of getting sum as an even number. The possible even numbers can be 2, 4, 6, 8, 10 and 12. But, as 4 is already considered in part1, it should be ignored in this case. The probability of getting sum as 2 is: [1/36] The probability of getting sum as 6 is: [5/36] The probability of getting sum as 8 is: [5/36] The probability of getting sum as 10 is: [3/36] By adding all the above, the probability of getting sum as an even number (ignoring 4) is: [(1/36)+(5/36)+(5/36)+(3/36)]=[14/36]. From part 1 and part 2, we get the total probability as [(7/36)+(14/36)]=[7/12]=0.583333.
What is the probability of getting a sum greater than 5 if you roll 2 dice?
The probability is 26/36 = 13/18.
What is the probability of getting a sum of 5 when two number cubes are rolled?
4/12
When 2 dice are rolled what is the probability of getting a sum less than 5?
It is 1/6.
When two dice are rolled find the probability of getting a sum of 5 or 6?
There are 36 permutations of two dice. Of these, 9 have a sum of 5 or 6, so the probability of rolling a sum of 5 or 6 on two dice is 9 in 36, or 1 in 9, or about 0.1111.
What is the probability of getting either a sum of 7 or at least one 6 in the roll of a pair of dice?
5/12
What is the probability of getting a sum of 7 or 11 by rolling two dice?
There are 36 permutations of two dice. Of them, 6 have a sum of 7, (1+6, 2+5, 3+4, 4+3, 5+2, and 6+1) and 2 have a sum of 11 (5+6 and 6+5). The probability, then of getting a sum of 7 or 11 is (6 plus 2) in 36, or 8 in 36, or 2 in 9, or about 0.2222.
What is the probability of rolling a sum of eleven with two number cubes?
The probability of getting 11 is 2/36 = 1/18. This is because of the 36 ways the dice might land, two of them sum to 11, namely 5 + 6 and 6 + 5.
If two dice are rolled find the probability of getting a sum greater than 7?
It is 15/36 = 5/12
