Five tokens are numbered from 1 to 5. If 2 tokens are randomly selected without replacement, find the probability that the sum of the numbers is greater than 6.
-----------------
Ways to get a sum greater than 6: 5/2;5/3;5/4;4/3;4/4;4/5;3/4;3/5;2/5 -- 9 ways
-------------
# of sums possible: 5^2 = 25
-------------
P(sum > 6) = 9/25
