There are 36 permutations of two dice. Of these, 15 add up to a sum greater than 7. The permutations are listed below, with the desired results bolded.
1 + 1 = 2
1 + 2 = 3
1 + 3 = 4
1 + 4 = 5
1 + 5 = 6
1 + 6 = 7
2 + 1 = 3
2 + 2 = 4
2 + 3 = 5
2 + 4 = 6
2 + 5 = 7
2 + 6 = 8
3 + 1 = 4
3 + 2 = 5
3 + 3 = 6
3 + 4 = 7
3 + 5 = 8
3 + 6 = 9
4 + 1 = 5
4 + 2 = 6
4 + 3 = 7
4 + 4 = 8
4 + 5 = 9
4 + 6 = 10
5 + 1 = 6
5 + 2 = 7
5 + 3 = 8
5 + 4 = 9
5 + 5 = 10
5 + 6 = 11
6 + 1 = 7
6 + 2 = 8
6 + 3 = 9
6 + 4 = 10
6 + 5 = 11
6 + 6 = 12
The probability, then, of rolling a sum greater than 7 with two dice is 15 in 36, or about 0.4167.
If six-sided dice are not what you are talking about, then please restate the question and be more specific about what you want to know.

What is the probability of rolling a number less than five on a standard number cube?
There is a 4 in 6 (or 2 in 3) probability of rolling a number less than a five on a standard number cube.
What is the probability of rolling a number less than or equal to 12 when rolling two number cubes?
It is 1.
What is the probability of rolling more than a six?
The probability of rolling more than a six with one roll of a cube whose sides are marked from 1 to 6 is zero.
What is the probability of flipping a coin and getting tails and than rolling a number greater than two on a number cube?
The probability of getting tails on a coin is SMALLER than rolling a number greater than 2
What is the probability that the number rolled will be less than 6?
The probability of rolling a number less than 6 on a die would be 5/6.
What is the question of the problem if rolling a number cube labeled from 1 to 6 and the probability is one half?
There could be many questions: What is the probability of rolling an even number. What is the probability of rolling an odd number. What is the probability of rolling a number less than 4. What is the probability of rolling a number more than 3. What is the probability of rolling 1,4, or 6. Basically it could be any question about the probability of rolling half of the faces.
What is the probability of rolling a number greater than 6 on a die?
The probability of rolling a number greater than 6 on a die is 0.
What is the probability of rolling a number other then 3 on a dice?
The probability would be 5/6 for rolling a number other than a 3.
What is the probability of rolling a number less than 1?
The probability of rolling a number less than 1 on a standard 6-sided die is zero. It will not happen.
When rolling a number cube what is the probability of rolling a number less than 3?
It is: 1 in 3
What is the probability of rolling a number less than five on a standard number cube?
There is a 4 in 6 (or 2 in 3) probability of rolling a number less than a five on a standard number cube.
When rolling three number cubes what is the probability of rolling a 5a number less than 3and an even number?
The probability is 57/216 = 19/108
What is the probability of rolling a number less than or equal to 12 when rolling two number cubes?
It is 1.
What is the probability of rolling more than a six?
The probability of rolling more than a six with one roll of a cube whose sides are marked from 1 to 6 is zero.
What is the probability of flipping a coin and getting tails and than rolling a number greater than two on a number cube?
The probability of getting tails on a coin is SMALLER than rolling a number greater than 2
What is the probability that the number rolled will be less than 6?
The probability of rolling a number less than 6 on a die would be 5/6.
How do you find the probability of rolling a number less than a certain number on one roll of a die?
The probability of rolling a number on a die is 1 out of the number of sides on the die. So, for a six sided die, the probability of rolling a 4 is 1/6. The probability of rolling a 4 or a 5 becomes 2/6 or 1/3. This is because there are two acceptable outcomes out of six. So when finding the probability of rolling a number less than x on a y sided die, it becomes x-1 / y. It is x-1 because the outcome is to roll less than the number, not less than or equal.
