Reveal answer Fill a bubble to check yourself
C Correct answer
Explanation

The maximum sum of two dice is 6+6=12. A sum of 15 is impossible.

AI explanation

When two standard six-sided dice are thrown, the maximum possible sum occurs when both dice show a 6, which equals 12. Because the target sum of 15 is physically impossible to achieve, the number of favorable outcomes is 0. Therefore, the probability of the event occurring is 0.
