You have 2 fair dice with 6 sides and you roll them both, what's the probability that the sum of rolled numbers will be 11?

So to get 11 you could roll a 5 and a 6 or a 6 and a 5.Probability of rolling 5 and 6 = 1/6 x 1/6 = 1/36Probability or rolling 6 and 5 = 1/6 x 1/6 = 1/36So probability of rolling an 11 is 2/36
