The first step is to determine what the experiment is: rolling a pair of dice, drawing two cards from a deck of playing cards, selecting numbered cards?
The probability of not rolling a sum of six with two fair dice is 1 minus the probability of rolling a sum of six. There are 36 permutations of rolling two dice. Of these, five sum to six, 1+5, 2+4, 3+3, 4+2, and 5+1. The probability, then of rolling a sum of six is 5 in 36. The probability, then of not rolling a sum of six is 31 in 36, or about 0.8611.
Probability that the sum is 6 = 5/36 Probability that the sum is 7 = 6/36
Zero is the probability of rolling a sum of 15 on two fair dice; the maximum value is 12.
The probability is 29/36.
