Since the sum could be 2,3,4,5,6,or 7, find the probability for each of those.

\n" ); document.write( "Sum=3, 2 outcome/21 outcomes, $\"P=2%2F21\"$
\n" ); document.write( "Sum=4, 3 outcome/21 outcomes, $\"P=3%2F21=1%2F7\"$
\n" ); document.write( "Sum=5, 4 outcome/21 outcomes, $\"highlight%28P=4%2F21%29\"$
\n" ); document.write( "Sum=6, 5 outcome/21 outcomes, $\"P=5%2F21\"$
\n" ); document.write( "Sum=7, 6 outcome/21 outcomes, $\"P=6%2F21=2%2F7\"$
\n" ); document.write( " \n" ); document.write( "
