Probabilities go from 0 to 1. This is a steady increase with 0.5 meaning 50% of "equally likely to happen as not." 0 probability means that it is impossible something will happen. 1 probability means it is definite something will happen. Therefore, you cannot have probability 1.2 as this is more than "definitely going to happen."

When rolling a pair of dice what is the probability that it will land on 11 or 12?
There are 36 possible combinations of rolling 2 die. To get an 11 or 12, the rolls would be 5, 6 or 6, 5 or 6,6 which is 3 possible correct outcomes, So, the probability of landing on an 11 or 12 is 3/36 or 1/12.
When two dice are rolled what is the probability of getting a sum of 12?
The sample space contains 36 possible outcomes (1,1 & 1,2 & 1,3.....etc up to 6,6). Since 6,6 is the only way to get the sum of 12, the probability of 12 is 1/36.
What is the probability of getting the sum 4 with two dice?
There are 36 possible outcomes but the only ones that produce 4 are 2,2 1,3 and 3,1. Hence the probability is 3 in 36 (or 1 in 12).
The probability of rolling 5 40 times is 12 What is the probability of rolling 5 500 times?
Probability is a number between 0 and 1. The probability of an event cannot be 12.
What does it mean for a probability to be fair?
A probability is fair if there is no bias in any of the possible outcomes. Said another way, all of the possible outcomes in a fair distribution have an equal probability.
