To solve the problem of finding the probability of different sums when a pair of dice is thrown, we will follow these steps: ### Step 1: Determine the Total Outcomes When two dice are thrown, the total number of outcomes is \(6 \times 6 = 36\). However, since we are only considering outcomes where the two numbers are different, we need to exclude the outcomes where both dice show the same number. The pairs where both numbers are the same are: - (1, 1) - (2, 2) ...
