Question 1176086
.
<pre>

The outcomes that give the sum of 6 are

    (1,5), (2,4), (3,3), (4,2), (5,1) - in all, 5 outcomes.



The outcomes that give the sum of 7 are

    (1,6), (2,5), (3,4), (4,3), (5,2), (6,1) - in all, 6 outcomes.



Thus, there are 5+6 = 11 favorable outcomes among 36 possible outcomes.


The probability to get the desired sum is  {{{11/36}}}.    <U>ANSWER</U>
