Detailed explanation-1: -If you roll two fair six-sided dice, what is the probability that the sum is 9 or higher? Summary: If you roll two fair six-sided dice, the probability that the sum is 9 or higher is 5/18.
Detailed explanation-2: -Therefore the required probability is 6/36+15/36=21/36=7/12=0.5833.. =58.33%.
Detailed explanation-3: -Calculating Probability : Example Question #1 What is the probability that the sum of both dice is greater than 8? Explanation: There are 36 possible outcomes ( ). 10 out of the 36 outcomes are greater than 8: (6 and 3)(6 and 4)(6 and 5)(6 and 6)(5 and 4)(5 and 5)(5 and 6)(4 and 5)(4 and 6)(3 and 6).
Detailed explanation-4: -So the probability of obtaining a total greater than or equal to 10 is 6/36 = 1/6.
Detailed explanation-5: -Summary: If a die is rolled one time, the probability of getting a number greater than 2 is 2/3.
