rightwards double arrow                  n(S) = n = 36

Event A: Getting a total of 10 or 12
rightwards double arrow           A = {(4,6), (5,5), (6,4), (6,6)} rightwards double arrow  n(A) = m = 4

∴       straight P left parenthesis straight A right parenthesis space equals space fraction numerator straight n left parenthesis straight A right parenthesis over denominator straight n left parenthesis straight S right parenthesis end fraction equals straight m over straight n equals 4 over 36 equals 1 over 9
