.

Of the total 36 possible outcomes, let's calculate the number of favorable outcomes, giving the sum T >= 10.


They are  (6,4), (5,5), (4,6);

          (6,5), (5,6)  and  (6,6).


So, of the total 36 possible outcomes, there are 6 favorable.


Therefore, the probability under the problem's question is  6%2F36 = 1%2F6.        ANSWER

Solved.
