Best Answer
Explanation
The total outcome for throwing a pair of dice is 36.
And the favourable outcome that A throws a sum of 6 is 5{ (1,5), (5,1), (2,4), (4,2), (3,3) } So the probability of A will be 536.
the favourable outcome that A throws a sum of 7 is 6{(1,6),(6,1),(2,5),(5,2),(3,4),(4,3)}
So the probability of B will be 636.
Therefore the probability that A wins is536+313656536+313656313656536
=5361-313656
=3061
Final Answer
The probability that A wins is 3061.
