When a pair of dice are thrown, find the probability of getting two numbers whose sum is less than 8.
---------------
List the sample space for the 36 sum outcomes and count the number
that have a sum less than 8.
-------------------
Less than 8: 1/1,1/2,1/3,1/4,1/5,1/6
.............2/1,2/2,2/3,2/4,2/5
.............3/1,.......,3/4
.............4/1,.....4/3
