A) If two fair dice are rolled, what is the probability that a total showing is more than 3?
# of ways to succeed: 36-(1+2) = 33
# of possible outcomes: 36
P(condition) = 33/36 = 11/12
-------------------------------------

B) if two fair dice are rolled, what is the probability that a total showing is either even or less than nine?
-------
# of ways to succeed: 18 + 15 - 9 = 24
---
# of possible outcomes: 36
P(condition) = 24/36 = 2/3
