When two dice are rolled what is the probability of getting a sum of 5 or 6?
Each dice has six combinations which are independent. Therefore the number of possible outcomes will be 6*6 = 36. The probability of rolling a pair of dice whose numbers add to 5 is 4/36 = 1/9.
What is the probability of getting a 5 a 6 or a 7 in a single throw of a pair of dice?
If you want the probabilities of rolling a set of numbers (e.g. a 4 and 7, or 5 and 6), add the probabilities from the table together.

Two (6-sided) dice roll probability table.
| Roll a… | Probability |
|---|---|
| 4 | 3/36 (8.333%) |
| 5 | 4/36 (11.111%) |
| 6 | 5/36 (13.889%) |
| 7 | 6/36 (16.667%) |
When two dice are tossed asynchronously What is the probability of getting the sum of 6?
Therefore probability of getting sum 6= 5/36.
