Step-by-step explanation:
Dear Gentleman Scholar —
Recently, I nearly reduced a woman to tears when she gently proffered her hand to me at a work conference and I vigorously squeezed it and yanked her around like the Incredible Hulk shaking hands with Raggedy Ann. There was much metacarpal cracking and muted whimpering. Having (I thought) learned my lesson, later at the same event when another women extended her hand, I very gently held hers and then released. There were no injuries this time, but she glared at me as if I had just handed her a dead fish. How does a gentleman shake hands with a lady? Am I supposed to shake it, caress it, kiss it, just hold it for a moment? What gives?
Yours,

The size of the sample space is 6*4=24.
Out of this, the outcomes that add up to 6 or higher are
1+5,6
2+4,5,6
3+3,4,5,6
4+2,3,4,5,6
for a total of 14 out of a sample space size of 24.
Therefore the probability is 14/24=7/12.
