When 2 dice are rolled, the probability of getting a sum less than 4 or greater than 9 is 2 in 9.

There are 36 permutations of two six sided dice, 1-1, 1-2, ..., 1-6, 2-1, ... 2-6, ..., 6-1, 6-2, ... 6-6. Of these permutations, 3 have a sum less than four, 1-1, 1-2, and 2-1, and 5 have a sum greater than nine, 4-6, 5-5, 5-6, 6-4, 6-5, and 6-6. Add these probabilities together and you get (3 + 5) in 36, or 8 in 36, or 2 in 9.
