Al and Rudy each roll ordinary dice once. What's the probability that the number of Ruby's roll is greater than the number of Al's roll?
--------------
Generate a sample space: a 6 by 6 pairing of possible results.
-------------
Count the number of pairs where Ruby's roll is greater than Al's.
Form the probability fraction.
I get 15/36 = 5/12
