1|_2_3_4__5__6__7
2|_3_4_5__6__7__8
3|_4_5_6__7__8__9
4|_5_6_7__8__9_10
5|_6_7_8__9_10_11
6|_7_8_9_10_11_12
........
36 possible outcomes: Use table to count for specific outcomes.
P(sum of 5 0r 6) = (see table)/36 = (4+5)/36 = 9/36 = 1/4
P(sum > 9)= (see table)/36 = 6/36 = 1/6
etc...will let You finish

P(sum = 14) = 0
P(sum < 13) = 36/36 = 1
