Question

kayla rolls two number cubes numbered 1 to 6. what is the probability that the sum of the numbers rolled will be 5?
\\(\frac{1}{19}\\)
\\(\frac{1}{9}\\)
\\(\frac{1}{8}\\)
\\(\frac{1}{6}\\)

Explanation:

Step1: Find total outcomes

Each cube has 6 sides, so total outcomes = 6×6 = 36.

Step2: Find favorable outcomes

Pairs that sum to 5 are (1,4), (2,3), (3,2), (4,1), 4 in total.

Step3: Calculate probability

Probability = $\frac{4}{36}=\frac{1}{9}$

Answer:

$\frac{1}{9}$
