To calculate: The
The sample space when two standard dice are rolled is shown below
The number of outcomes where the sum of 7 is obtained is 6.
The theoretical probability of getting a sum of 7 when two dice are rolled is 0.1667.
Given:
The total number of standard dice rolled
Concept used:
The theoretical probability is calculated using the formula
Calculation:
The total number of possibilities when one single dice is rolled
The total number of possibilities when two dice are rolled
The sample space of all 36 possibilities are shown below
The number of favourable outcomes where the sum is 7 is 6
The theoretical probability of getting a sum of 7 is calculated as shown below
The theoretical probability of getting a sum of 7 when two dice are rolled is
