Quizplus · Accepted Answer

There are a total of 36 possible outcomes when two dice are rolled (6 possible outcomes for the first die and 6 possible outcomes for the second die). To get a sum of 5, the possible outcomes are (1,4), (2,3), (3,2), and (4,1). Therefore, there are 4 possible outcomes out of 36 possible outcomes. So, the probability of getting a sum of 5 is 4/36 which simplifies to 1/9. The answer choice that represents this probability is B.
