The only two possibilities for a sum greater than 10 are 11 and 12. There is one way to make a 12 and two ways to make an 11 out of 36 total possibilities. So the probability of an 11 is: . And the probability of a 12 is . Finally, the probability of either an 11 or a 12 is the sum of these two probabilities:
