Given:
Two cubes are rolled together.
To find the probability that the sum of the numbers on the number cubes will equal 4.
Formula
P(A) = [tex]\frac{x}{y}[/tex]
where, A be any event.
x be the number of successful outcomes
y be the total number of outcomes
Now,
If the two cubes are rolled together, total number of outcomes = 36
In total outcomes, the sum of the numbers of cube will be 4 for (1,3),(3,1) and (2,2)
So, the number of successful outcomes = 3
Now,
Putting x=3 and y = 36 we get,
[tex]P(A) = \frac{3}{36}[/tex]
or, [tex]P(A) = \frac{1}{12}[/tex]
Hence,
The probability that the sum of the numbers on the number cubes will equal 4 is [tex]\frac{1}{12}[/tex]. Option D.
