Thread: Three dice are rolled.

Any help appreciated, thanks.
Three dice are thrown. What is the probability that the total number of dots shown is twelve? What is the probability that the total number of dots shown is twelve and at least one or more of them shows a six?

How many different ways are there of making 12 when throwing 3 dice?

Do I just count them? because it did take a while and I think it is 25 ways of making 12.

Thanks

And can appear in six different ways.
