  1. $\(\frac{13}{36}\)$
  2. $\(\frac{11}{36}\)$
  3. $\(\frac{10}{33}\)$
  4. $\(\frac{11}{35}\)$
  5. $\(\frac{12}{35}\)$

B Correct answer
Explanation

For two dice, total outcomes = 36. Getting at least one 5 means either exactly one 5 or two 5s. Probability of at least one 5 = 1 - probability of no 5s = 1 - (5/6 × 5/6) = 1 - 25/36 = 11/36. Alternatively, count favorable outcomes: (5,1-6) and (1-6,5) gives 11 outcomes out of 36.
