-- There are (6 x 6) = 36 possible rolls for a fair pair of 6-sided dice.
-- There are 6 ways to roll a sum of 7 :
-- So the probability is 6/36 = 1/6 = 162/3 % .
-- The probability is the probability, not the 'theoretical' probability.

Te probability of rolling a sum of 7 with two fair dice is 6 in 36, or 1 in 6, or about 0.1667.Of all the possible combinations of two dice, the sum of 7 has the highest probability, with the other combinations decreasing down to 2 and 12, with probabilities of 1 in 36, or about 0.0278.

The probability of rolling a 7 on a standard die is 0. It will not ever happen.
If two fair number cubes are rolled, the answers are: Prob(7) = 6/36 = 1/6 Prob(11) = 2/36 = 1/18.
Count the number of permutations of the expected results and divide by the number of permutations of the possible results. This is standard probability theory, and it applies to everything in probability, not just dice.For instance, with two dice, there are 36 possible permutations, while there is only 1 permutation that adds up to a sum of 2, though there are 6 permutations that add up to a sum of 7. As a result, the probability of rolling a sum of 2 is 1 in 36, while rolling a 7 is 6 in 36, or 1 in 6.
