Solution

To solve this problem, we need to understand the total number of possible outcomes when two dice are rolled. Since each die has 6 faces, the total number of outcomes is 6*6 = 36.

Next, we need to find out in how many ways we can get a sum of 11. The pairs that give a sum of 11 are (5,6), (6,5). So, there are 2 favorable outcomes.

The probability of an event is given by the ratio of the number of favorable outcomes to the total number of outcomes.

So, the probability of getting a sum of 11 when two dice are rolled is 2/36 = 1/18.
