Nina tosses 2 number cubes labeled 1 to 6. What is the probability that the sum is equal to 5?

Probability = (nr. of ways it can succeed) / (total nr. of possible outcomes)
The first cube can come up in 6 different ways. For each of those . . . The second cube can come up in 6 different ways. Total number of possible outcomes = 6 x 6 = 36 .
The toss succeeds if the sum is 5. How many ways can that happen ? 1 . . . 4 2 . . . 3 3 . . . 2 4 . . . 1 Four different ways.
**Probability **= 4/36 = 1/9 = 11.1%

The probability that the sum of two dice equals 5 is 9 1 ​ , which is approximately 11.1%. There are a total of 36 possible outcomes when tossing two dice, and 4 outcomes result in the sum of 5. Thus, the calculation shows that this is a relatively rare event.
