Yes but it is not possible to attach any interpretation to that. The addition of probabilities makes sense only if they are mutually exclusive outcomes of the same trial. If they are, then their sum cannot be greater than 1.

When 2 dice are rolled what is the probability of getting a sum less than 4 or greater than 9?

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.
