A fair die is tossed twice. What is the probability of getting a sum of at least 10?

Worked solution (try it first)
  1. Tossing a die twice gives 36 equally likely outcomes.
  2. A sum of at least 10 comes from (4,6),(5,5),(6,4),(5,6),(6,5),(6,6)(4, 6), (5, 5), (6, 4), (5, 6), (6, 5), (6, 6), which is 6 outcomes.
  3. So the probability is 636=16\frac{6}{36} = \frac16, option D.
