Compute the probability of rolling seven with two six sided dice?

Answer 1

Each die has 6 outcomes: 1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6. Total outcomes for 2 die is 6 * 6 = 36. You can easily write out the 36 outcomes; but the ones that add to 7 are: 1&6, 2&5, 3&4, 4&3, 5&2, and 6&1. Therefore, there are 6 ways to get a 7. So, 6 ways to get a 7: = 6/36 = 1/6.
