1 die is numbered 1 through 6, so there must
\n" ); document.write( "be 2 of them in order to throw a 7
\n" ); document.write( "The total of possible outcomes with 2 dice is:
\n" ); document.write( " $\"+6%2A6+=+36+\"$
\n" ); document.write( "The possible ways to get 7 are:
\n" ); document.write( "3, 4
\n" ); document.write( "4, 3
\n" ); document.write( "5, 2
\n" ); document.write( "2, 5
\n" ); document.write( "1, 6
\n" ); document.write( "6, 1
\n" ); document.write( "-------
\n" ); document.write( "The total is $\"+6+\"$ ways
\n" ); document.write( "So, the probability of a 7 is
\n" ); document.write( " $\"+6%2F36+=+1%2F6+\"$
\n" ); document.write( " \n" ); document.write( "
