1. Sample space for total number of possible outcomes

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

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

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

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

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

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

   Total number of outcomes =36

   Favorable outcomes for sum greater than 10 are

   (5,6),(6,5),(6,6)

   Number of favorable outcomes =3

   Favorable outcomes for sum less than 5 are

   (1,1),(1,2),(1,3),(2,1),(2,2),(3,1)

   Number of favorable outcomes =6

   Hence, the probability of obtaining a sum greater than 10 or sum less than 5=3+6/36

   = 1/4
