What is the probability that the total sum of seven would appear in toss of a fair die?
Answer Details
When a fair die is rolled, there are 6 possible outcomes, each with an equal probability of 1/6. The only way to obtain a sum of 7 is by rolling a combination of (1,6), (2,5), (3,4), (4,3), (5,2), or (6,1). That means there are 6 possible ways to get a sum of 7 out of 36 possible outcomes. Therefore, the probability of obtaining a sum of 7 is 6/36, which simplifies to 1/6.
So the answer is: 1/6.
