Quizplus · Accepted Answer

The sum of 3 can be achieved only by rolling a 1 on one die and a 2 on the other die. There are 2 ways this can happen (1 on the first die and 2 on the second, or 2 on the first die and 1 on the second) out of a total of 36 possible outcomes (6 sides on the first die times 6 sides on the second die), so the probability is $ \frac{2}{36} = \frac{1}{18} $.
