Quizplus · Accepted Answer

The total number of outcomes when two dice are rolled is 36 (6 outcomes for the first die times 6 outcomes for the second die). For a score of 5, the possible outcomes are (1,4), (2,3), (3,2), (4,1), making 4 outcomes. For a score of 10, the possible outcomes are (4,6), (5,5), (6,4), making 3 outcomes. Therefore, the total favorable outcomes are 4 + 3 = 7. The probability is 7 out of 36, or $\frac{7}{36}$.
