Answer: 0
=============================================================
Explanation:
Assuming we're dealing with a standard 6-sided die with labels from this set {1,2,3,4,5,6}, the largest sum possible is 6+6 = 12.
Therefore, it is not possible to get a sum of anything larger than 16, which is why the probability is 0.
Saying "the probability is 0" means the event will never happen.
It is equivalent to saying "there is a 0% chance of the event happening".
