A pair of dice is rolled, and the number that appears uppermost on each die is observed. Refer to this experiment and find the probability of the given event. (Enter your answer as a fraction.)
The sum of the numbers is either 7 or 11.
-------
"7" pairs: 1/6;2/5;3/4;4/3;5/2;6/1------6 ways
----
"11" pairs: 5/6;6:5---------------------2 ways
----------------
Total pairs: 36
=====
P("7" or "11") = 8/36 = 2/9
