Quizplus · Accepted Answer

The possible outcomes for the sum to be not greater than 5 are: (1,1), (1,2), (1,3), (1,4), (2,1), (2,2), (2,3), (3,1), (3,2), and (4,1), which makes 10 outcomes. Since there are 36 possible outcomes when rolling two dice (6 options for the first die times 6 options for the second die), the probability is $ \frac{10}{36} = \frac{5}{18} $.
