Question 1065362: If the experiment, tossing a pair of dice, is repeated over and over again in a very long series of trials, what proportion of outcomes do you think would result in a sum less than 7?

Sum less than 7 would be
6 (5/36 probability 1-5,5-1,2-4,4-2,3-3)
5 (4/36 probability 1-4,4-1,2-3,3-2
4 (3/36)
3(2/36)
2 (1/36)
That sum is 15/36 or 5/12.
Sums equal to 7 over the long term would be (1/6).
