It is the complement to the probability of getting the sum of 5.


There are 36 outcomes, in all, each with the probability  {{{1/36}}}.


Of them,  there are  4  outcomes with the sum of 5


    (1,4), (2,3), (3,2) and (4,1).


Therefore, the probability under the question is  P = 1 - {{{4/36}}} = 1 - {{{1/9}}} = {{{8/9}}}.    <U>ANSWER</U>
