Explanation:
Detailed explanation-1: -p( getting total of 5 or 11)= 6/36=1/6 ans….
Detailed explanation-2: -1 Expert Answer so six combinations are either 5 or 11 out of 36 possible combinations, so probability is 6/36 = 1/6.
Detailed explanation-3: -Problem Answer: The probability that the sum of two numbers is 11 in a pair of dice is 1/18.
Detailed explanation-4: -Hence the given statement is false.
