Quizplus · Accepted Answer

The only sums greater than 10 that can be rolled with two 6-sided dice are 11 and 12. There are 3 combinations to get these sums: (5,6), (6,5) for 11, and (6,6) for 12. Since there are 36 possible outcomes when rolling two dice (6 sides on the first die times 6 sides on the second die), the probability is $ \frac{3}{36} = \frac{1}{12} $.
