Answer by timvanswearingen(106)   (Show Source):
You can put this solution on YOUR website! There are 6 numbers on each die so the number of possibilities is 6*6=36
Now, the probability that the sum is at least 4, would be easier found by using
1-P(sum is 3 or less)
Sums of 3 or less would include rolls of 1,1 1,2 2,1
therefore 3/36 or 1/12.
So, P(sum is 4 or more) = 1-P(sum is 3 or less) = 1 - 1/12 = 11/12
