-Find the odds for getting a sum of 11 when two fair dice are rolled.

Question

Quizplus · Accepted Answer

The sum of 11 can be achieved with the following pairs of dice rolls: (5,6) and (6,5). Since there are a total of 36 possible outcomes when rolling two six-sided dice (6 outcomes for the first die multiplied by 6 outcomes for the second die), the odds for rolling a sum of 11 are 2 favorable outcomes out of 36 possible outcomes, which simplifies to 1 out of 18. Therefore, the odds against rolling a sum of 11 are 17 to 1.
