    When you throw a dice, the total number of options that you can get is the product of the number of options for each dice, this means that the total number of combinations is:

    c = 6*6 = 36 combinations.

    Now, the combinations where the dice add to 11 are:

    5 in one dice and 6 in the other.

    6 in one dice and 5 in the other.

    so out of 36 combinations, we have 2 options where we have an 11.

    then the probability is the combinations that add to 11 divided by the total number of combinations:

    p = 2/36 = 1/18 = 0.056

    the probability is greater than 0.05, so it is significant.

    1/18

    Step-by-step explanation:

    We are considering that we have 2 dices with 6 faces each (so, the probability to gettig any face in any dish is 1/6). To get an 11, we only have two ways to obtain it:

    Dice 1 = 6 and Dice 2 = 5

    or

    Dice 1 = 5 and Dice 2 = 6

    So, the probability of the event is given as:

    P (Dice1=5 ∧ Dice2=6) ∪ P (Dice1=6 ∧ Dice2=5) = P (Dice1=5) x P (Dice2=6) + P (Dice1=6) x P (Dice2=5) = 1/6 x 1/6 + 1/6 x 1/6 = 1/36 + 1/36 = 2/36 = 1/18.

    As 1/18 = 0,055, and 0,055 > 0,05, we consider the event as not significative (according to the definition of significance in the sentence).
