(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 cases where sum will be 6 is (1, 5), (2, 4), (3, 3), (4, 2), (5, 1) i.e. 5

Probability of getting sum 6

We know that, If odds in favor of the occurrence an event are a:b, then the probability of an event to occur is

Now we got

So, a = 5 and a+b = 36 i.e. b = 31

Therefore odds in the favor of getting the sum as 6 is 5:31

Conclusion: Odds in favor of getting the sum as 6 is 5:31

Total cases where sum will be 7 is (1, 6), (2, 5), (3, 4), (4, 3), (5, 2), (6, 1) i.e. 6

Probability of getting sum 6

We know that,

If odds in favor of the occurrence an event are a:b, then the probability of an event to occur is

Now we got

So, a = 1 and a+b = 6 i.e. b = 5

Therefore odds in the favor of getting the sum as 7 is 1:5

Odds against getting the sum as 7 is b:a i.e. 5:1

Conclusion: Odds against getting the sum as 7 is 5:1
