When two dice are rolled what is the probability of getting a sum of 14?
You can't get 14 with two regular six-sided dice ! The highest you can get with one throw is 12.
When two dice are rolled find the probability of getting a sum of greater than 15?
Two standard dice cannot have a sum greater than 12. The probability, then, of getting a sum greater than 15 is zero.
What is the probability of getting a sum of six on a six sided dice?
5/36
A pair of dice are rolled and the sum on their upturned faces is recorded What is the probability that the sum showing is 8 given that one die is showing a 5?
it depends on how many time you throw the dice. the increase number of your throw, the higher the probability to get 8 that one die is showing a 5. that what my opinion.
What is the probability of getting a sum 9 from two throws of a dice?
There are 36 permutations of two dice.1 Of these 4 have a sum of 9, specifically 36, 45, 54, and 63. Therefore, the probability of throwing a sum of 9 on two dice is 4 in 36, or 1 in 9, or about 0.1111. ---------------------------------------------------------------------------------- 1It does not matter it you throw one die two times or two dice once. Since these are independent events, the probabilities are the same either way.
