probability (numerator given here; denominator is 36)
\n" ); document.write( "for a ==numerator
\n" ); document.write( "2=1
\n" ); document.write( "3=2
\n" ); document.write( "4=3
\n" ); document.write( "5=4
\n" ); document.write( "6=5
\n" ); document.write( "7=6
\n" ); document.write( "8=5
\n" ); document.write( "9=4
\n" ); document.write( "10=3
\n" ); document.write( "11=2
\n" ); document.write( "12=1
\n" ); document.write( "So the answer to the first is 5/36
\n" ); document.write( "a number fewer than 8 is 21/36 or 7/12
\n" ); document.write( "
\n" );
