In rolling two fair dice, the probability of obtaining a sum greater than 10 is 3 in 36 or 1 in 12, and the probability of obtaining a sum divisible by 6 is 6 in 36 or 1 in 6. Since the two probabilities come from the same population of 36 possible outcomes, the combined probability is the inclusive or of the two result sets, 8 in 36 or 2 in 9.
The results that match the sum>10 target are 5-6, 6-5, and 6-6.
The results that match the divisibility by 6 target are 1-5, 2-4, 3-3, 4-2, 5-1, and 6-6.
The results that match the combined target are 1-5, 2-4, 3-3, 4-2, 5-1, 5-6, 6-5, and 6-6.

What is the probability of rolling two dice and the sum is not divisible by 3?
Prob(Sum is not divisible by 3) = 24/36 = 2/3
A die is tossed. Find the odds against rolling a number greater than 1.?
The probability of rolling a number greater than 1 is 5/6.
The probability of rolling a number greater than 5 on one roll of a die?
Only 6 is greater than 5 on a standard cubic die. The chance of rolling a 6 is one in six.
What is the probability of rolling a 7 or 11 with two dice?
The probability of rolling a 7 with 2 dice is 6/36; probability of rolling an 11 is 2/36. Add the two together to find probability of rolling a 7 or 11 which is 8/36 or 2/9.
What is the probability of rolling a 3?
assuming a single six sided die the probability of rolling a three is 1/6

The probability is 29/36.
What the probability of rolling a 6 sided die and getting a 4 or a number divisible by 3?
If the die is fair then for a single roll, the probability is 1/2.
What is the probability of obtaining tails and a three?
Assume the given event depicts flipping a fair coin and rolling a fair die. The probability of obtaining a tail is ½, and the probability of obtaining a 3 in a die is 1/6. Then, the probability of encountering these events is (½)(1/6) = 1/12.
Suppose that you toss a coin and roll and die What is the probability of obtaining tails?
The probability to tossing a coin and obtaining tails is 0.5. Rolling a die has nothing to do with this outcome - it is unrelated.
