\n" ); document.write( "1+1
\n" ); document.write( "6 occurances in 36 possible outcomes=6/36

\n" ); document.write( "p greater than 10
\n" ); document.write( "5+6
\n" ); document.write( "6+5
\n" ); document.write( "6+6
\n" ); document.write( "3 occurances in 36 possible outcomes=3/36
\n" ); document.write( "..
\n" ); document.write( "so for either <5 or >10 add the probabilities
\n" ); document.write( "6/36+3/36=9/36=1/4
