The correct Answer is:
To find the probability of getting a sum of 10 when a die is tossed twice, we can follow these steps: ### Step 1: Identify the total possible outcomes When a die is tossed twice, each die has 6 faces. Therefore, the total number of outcomes when tossing two dice is: \[ \text{Total outcomes} = 6 \times 6 = 36 \]
