Question

What is the inverse probability that the total of the roll of two six-sided dice is 10?

Answer 1

6 and 4 has chance of 1/6 x 1/6 = 1/36

4 and 6, same chance of happening 1/36

5 and 5 another 1/36

are the only ways to get 10 with two dice

total chance = 3/36 = 1/12 = .08333.. = 8 1/3 % chance of a 10
