The probability the sum total will be 5 is 4/36.
What is probability?
"Probability means possibility. It is a branch of mathematics that deals with the occurrence of a random event. The value is expressed from zero to one".
For the given situation,
The sample space for rolling two 6 sided cube is
s ={
[tex](1,1), (1,2), (1,3), (1,4), (1,5), (1,6)\\(2,1), (2,2), (2,3), (2,4), (2,5), (2,6)\\(3,1), (3,2), (3,3), (3,4), (3,5), (3,6)\\(4,1), (4,2), (4,3), (4,4), (4,5), (4,6)\\(5,1), (5,2), (5,3), (5,4), (5,5), (5,6)\\(6,1), (6,2), (6,3), (6,4), (6,5), (6,6)[/tex] }
⇒ [tex]n(s)=36[/tex]
The event is getting the probability that the sum total will be 5.
e = { [tex](1,4), (2,3), (3,2), (4,1)[/tex] }
⇒ [tex]n(e)=4[/tex]
Thus the probability that the sum total will be 5 is
[tex]P(e)=\frac{n(e)}{n(s)} \\[/tex]
⇒ [tex]P(e)=\frac{4}{36}[/tex]
Hence we can conclude that the probability the sum total will be 5 is 4/36.
