Solution

0.1

Solution steps

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 the sum is 6:

5

Probability

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

= \frac{5}{6 ^{2}}

6^{2} = 36

= \frac{5}{36}

Round

\frac{5}{36}

to the nearest tenth:

0.1

= 0.1
