Solution

The sum of 3 can be achieved in two ways when two dice are thrown: (1,2) and (2,1).

There are a total of 36 possible outcomes when two dice are thrown (6 outcomes from the first die multiplied by 6 outcomes from the second die).

So, the probability of getting a sum of 3 is the number of favorable outcomes divided by the total number of outcomes.

This gives us 2 (favorable outcomes) divided by 36 (total outcomes), which simplifies to 1/18.

So, the correct answer is a. 1/18.
