Let X denote the sum of the numbers obtained when two fair dice are rolled. So, X may have values 2, 3, 4, 5, 6, 7, 8, 9, 10, 11 and 12.

P(X = 2) = P(1, 1) = 136

P(X = 3) = P{(1, 2), (2, 1)} = 236

P(X = 4) = 536, P(X = 5) = 436

P(X = 6) = 536, P(X = 7) = 636, P(X = 8) = 536,

P(X = 9) = 436, P(X = 10) = 336, P(X = 11) = 236,

P(X = 12) = 136

 Probability distribution table is given below

X 2 3 4 5 6 7 8 9 10 11 12
P(X) 136 236 336 436 536 636 536 436 336 236 136
