Suppose that a single die with 6 sides (numbered 1, 2, 3, ... , 6) is rolled twice. what is the probability that the sum of the two rolls equals 5 ?

The probability that the sum of the two rolls equals 5 is 1/16.

What is probability?

Probability is defined as the ratio of the number of favorable outcomes to the total number of outcomes in other words the probability is the number that shows the happening of the event.

Probability = Number of favorable outcomes / Number of sample

Given a single die with 8 sides (numbered 1, 2, 3, ..., 8) is rolled twice, the total outcome will be:

Total outcome = 8^2

Total outcome = 64

For the sum of two rolls, the expected outcome will be:

E = {(1, 4), (4, 1), (3, 2), (2, 3)}

n(E) = 4

Pr(sum of the two rolls is 5) = 4/64

Pr(sum of the two rolls is 5) = 1/16

Hence the probability that the sum of the two rolls equals 5 is 1/16
