1. **Problem:** Two dice are rolled. Find the probability of getting:
i. A sum of 6 or 11.
ii. A sum greater than 10.
2. **Formula and Rules:**
The total number of outcomes when two dice are rolled is $6 \times 6 = 36$.
Probability of an event $E$ is given by:
$$P(E) = \frac{\text{Number of favorable outcomes}}{\text{Total number of outcomes}}$$
3. **Step i: Sum of 6 or 11**
- Possible pairs for sum 6: $(1,5), (2,4), (3,3), (4,2), (5,1)$ → 5 outcomes.
- Possible pairs for sum 11: $(5,6), (6,5)$ → 2 outcomes.
- Total favorable outcomes = $5 + 2 = 7$.
- Probability:
$$P(6 \text{ or } 11) = \frac{7}{36}$$
4. **Step ii: Sum greater than 10**
- Possible sums greater than 10 are 11 and 12.
- Sum 11 outcomes: 2 (as above).
- Sum 12 outcomes: $(6,6)$ → 1 outcome.
- Total favorable outcomes = $2 + 1 = 3$.
- Probability:
$$P(>10) = \frac{3}{36} = \frac{\cancel{3}}{\cancel{36}} = \frac{1}{12}$$
**Final answers:**
- Probability of sum 6 or 11 is $\frac{7}{36}$.
- Probability of sum greater than 10 is $\frac{1}{12}$.
