Two fair dice are rolled. What is the probability of getting a sum of at least 7? What is the probability of getting a sum as a prime number?
----------
Total number of sums: 36
sum of 3: 2
sum of 5: 4
sum of 7: 6
sum of 8: 5
sum of 9: 4
sum of 10:3
Sum of 11:2
Sum of 12:1
---------------------
P(sum of >=7) = 21/36
---
P(sum = prime #) = 14/36
