Fasi della soluzione

The possible outcomes when two dice are rolled are

6 \cdot 6

Therefore, the number of possible outcomes:

6^{2}

Find the number of favorable outcomes of when 2 fair dice The sum is at most 5 or at least 10 The sum is prime or at least 10 The sum is prime or divisible by 6:

19

Probability

= \frac{number of favorable outcomes}{total number of outcomes}

= \frac{19}{6 ^{2}}

6^{2} = 36

= \frac{19}{36}
