Compute Theoretical Probability
-Two 6-sided dice are rolled. What is the probability that the sum of the two numbers on the dice will be greater than 9?
A) $\frac { 1 } { 6 }$
B) $\frac { 1 } { 4 }$
C) $\frac { 1 } { 12 }$
D) 6

The sums greater than 9 are achieved with the following pairs: (4,6), (5,5), (5,6), (6,4), (6,5), and (6,6). There are 6 favorable outcomes out of 36 possible outcomes (each die has 6 sides, so 6*6 = 36 total outcomes), giving a probability of $\frac{6}{36} = \frac{1}{6}$.
