Hi Saloni! Below is the solution to your question:
When two dice are rolled simultaneously, each die has 6 possible outcomes.
Total possible outcomes
$6 \times 6 = 36$
Possible pairs whose sum is 5:
$(1,4), (2,3), (3,2), (4,1)$
Number of favorable outcomes $4$
Probability formula
$P(E) = \frac{\text{Number of favorable outcomes}}{\text{Total number of outcomes}}$
So, $P(\text{sum } = 5) = \frac{4}{36}$
Simplify the fraction:
$P = \frac{1}{9}$
Hope it helps you, thanks!
