SOLUTION: Two dice are rolled. Find the probability of getting the following. 2) a sum of 6 or 7 or 8 b) doubles or a sum of 4 or 6 c) a sum greater than 9 or less than 4, Please help me

Here are all possible rolls:  Count them, there are 36

(1,1) (1,2) (1,3) (1,4) (1,5) (1,6)

(2,1) (2,2) (2,3) (2,4) (2,5) (2,6)

(3,1) (3,2) (3,3) (3,4) (3,5) (3,6) 

(4,1) (4,2) (4,3) (4,4) (4,5) (4,6) 

(5,1) (5,2) (5,3) (5,4) (5,5) (5,6)

(6,1) (6,2) (6,3) (6,4) (6,5) (6,6)

I'll color those red:

(1,1) (1,2) (1,3) (1,4) (1,5) (1,6)

(2,1) (2,2) (2,3) (2,4) (2,5) (2,6)

(3,1) (3,2) (3,3) (3,4) (3,5) (3,6) 

(4,1) (4,2) (4,3) (4,4) (4,5) (4,6) 

(5,1) (5,2) (5,3) (5,4) (5,5) (5,6)

(6,1) (6,2) (6,3) (6,4) (6,5) (6,6)

Count the red ones.  I count 16.  So the probability
of rolling one on those 16, is 16 times out of 36,
or 16/36 which reduces to 4/9.

(6,1) (6,2) (6,3) (6,4) (6,5) (6,6)

Count the red ones.  I count 12.  So the probability
of rolling one on those 12, is 12 times out of 36,
or 12/36 which reduces to 1/3.

Now you can do that one by yourself, right?
