For 6 sided dice, there is only 1 way to get a 2: (1,1). There are 36 outcomes rolling 2 dice; so the probability of rolling two numbers whose sum is 2 is 1/36.

If you roll a pair of six sided number cubes the probability of rolling two numbers whose sum is 6 is 5/36 or 0.1389. There are 5 ways to get 6: 1,5 & 5,1 & 4,2 & 2,4 & 3,3. There are 36 outcomes for a roll of 2 dice.
The sample space has 36 elements (the total number of outcomes by rolling the two dice). There are 6 double outcomes: (1,1), (2,2), (3,3), (4,4), (5,5) and (6,6). There are 5 outcomes whose sum is 6: (1,5), (5,1), (2,4), (4, 2), and (3,3). The probability of rolling doubles OR the sum of 6 is 6/36 + 5/36 = 11/36.
A conditional event.
The joint probability function for two variables is a probability function whose domain is a subset of two dimensional space. The joint probability function for discrete random variables X and Y is given aspr(x, y) = pr(X = x and Y = y). If X and Y are independent random variables then this will equal pr(X =x)*pr(Y = y).For continuous variables, the joint funtion is defined analogously:f(x, y) = pr(X < x and Y < y).
See related link, In quantum mechanics, a probability amplitude is a complex number whose modulus squared represents a probability or probability density. For example, the values taken by a normalised wave function ψ are amplitudes, since |ψ(x)|2 gives the probability density at position x. Probability amplitudes may also correspond to probabilities of discrete outcomes.
