Answer

Probability of getting two numbers whose sum is 4 = $\frac{1}{12}$

Work Step by Step

Total number of outcomes = 36 Favorable outcomes if sum of two numbers is 4 = (1, 3), (2, 2), (3, 1) = 3 Probability = $\frac{Number of favorable outcomes}{total number of outcomes}$ Probability of getting two numbers whose sum is 4 = $\frac{3}{36}$ = $\frac{1}{12}$
