There are 62=366^2=36 outcomes.

a)


1+5=2+4=3+3=4+2=5+1=51+5=2+4=3+3=4+2=5+1=5

P(sum=6)=536P(sum=6)=\dfrac{5}{36}

b)


(1,1),(2,2),(3,3),(4,4),(5,5),(6,6)(1,1), (2,2), (3,3), (4,4), (5,5), (6,6)

P(doubles)=636=16P(doubles)=\dfrac{6}{36}=\dfrac{1}{6}

c)


1+6=2+5=3+4=4+3=5+2=6+1=71+6=2+5=3+4=4+3=5+2=6+1=7

5+6=6+5=115+6=6+5=11

P(sum=7 or 11)=636+236=29P(sum=7\ or\ 11)=\dfrac{6}{36}+\dfrac{2}{36}=\dfrac{2}{9}

d)


4+6=5+5=6+4=10>94+6=5+5=6+4=10>9

5+6=6+5=11>95+6=6+5=11>9

6+6=12>96+6=12>9

P(sum>9)=336+236+136=16P(sum>9)=\dfrac{3}{36}+\dfrac{2}{36}+\dfrac{1}{36}=\dfrac{1}{6}


e)


1+1=241+1=2\leq4

1+2=2+1=341+2=2+1=3\leq4

1+3=2+2=3+1=441+3=2+2=3+1=4\leq4

P(sum4)=136+236+336=16P(sum\leq4)=\dfrac{1}{36}+\dfrac{2}{36}+\dfrac{3}{36}=\dfrac{1}{6}
