Dice Sum 6
1. **Problem Statement:** We want to find the probability of getting a sum of 6 when two dice are rolled.
2. **Formula:** Probability is given by the ratio of favorable outcomes to total possible outcomes:
$$\text{Probability} = \frac{\text{Number of favorable outcomes}}{\text{Total number of outcomes}}$$
3. **Total Outcomes:** Each die has 6 faces, so total outcomes when rolling two dice are:
$$6 \times 6 = 36$$
4. **Favorable Outcomes:** We list pairs of dice rolls that sum to 6:
$$(1,5), (2,4), (3,3), (4,2), (5,1)$$
There are 5 such pairs.
5. **Calculate Probability:**
$$\frac{5}{36}$$
6. **Explanation:** There are 36 equally likely outcomes when rolling two dice. Only 5 of these outcomes result in a sum of 6, so the probability is $\frac{5}{36}$, which is approximately 0.1389 or 13.89%.
