You can put this solution on YOUR website!
The possibilities for a sum of 9 or greater is:
\n" ); document.write( "----------------
\n" ); document.write( "1st die - - - 2nd die
\n" ); document.write( "( 3 ) - - - ( 6 )
\n" ); document.write( "( 4 ) - - - ( 5, 6 )
\n" ); document.write( "( 5 ) - - - ( 4, 5, 6 )
\n" ); document.write( "( 6 ) - - - ( 3, 4, 5, 6 )
\n" ); document.write( "------------------------
\n" ); document.write( "That adds up to $\"+10+\"$ ways
\n" ); document.write( "to get a total of 9 or greater
\n" ); document.write( "There are $\"+6%2A6+=+36+\"$ sums
\n" ); document.write( "total with 2 dice, so the probability
\n" ); document.write( "of getting a sum of at least 9 is
\n" ); document.write( " $\"+10%2F36+=+5%2F18+\"$
\n" ); document.write( "Definitely get a 2nd opinion on this!
\n" ); document.write( " \n" ); document.write( "
