Explanation / Answer

a) Only at one instance will a sum of 2 occur. 1+1=2. So, each diemust have 1 on top.     The probability of each die to have a 1 is1/3.     So, the probability of having a sum of 2 is(1/3)(1/3)=1/9 b) 6=3+3     The probability of each die to have a 3 is1/3     So, the probability of having a 6 as a sum is(1/3)(1/3)=1/9
