Two fair dice are tossed once. Find the probability that the sum is at least 10.

Worked solution (try it first)
  1. Two dice give 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 A.
