Answer:
See below.
Step-by-step explanation:
See the attached chart that shows all outcomes for two dice.
There are 36 possible outcomes, all equally likely (if the dice are fair!).
The probability of getting a sum of 2 is 1/36 (only one way to get 2: both dice show 1).
The probability of getting a sum of 3 is 2/36 = 1/18.
The probability of getting a sum of 7 is 6/36 = 1/6 (the most likely sum!)
(Notice how all the sum = 7 outcomes like on a diagonal in the chart?)
The probability of getting a sum of 11 is 2/36 = 1/18.
The probability of getting a sum of 12 is 1/36.
