A pair of dice are rolled. What is the probability that the number rolled will be less then 7
----
# of ways to get 2: 1
# of ways to get 3: 2
# of ways to get 4: 3
# of ways to get 5: 4
# of ways to get 6: 5
------
Total number of ways to get less than 7: 1+2+3+4+5=2*6+3 = 15
P(sum less than 7) = 15/36
