Possible 11 sums
$$
\{2,3,4,5,6,7,8,9,10,11,12\}
$$
The 5 odds are$$\{3,5,7,9,11\}
$$
The answer is
$$
\frac 5 {11}
$$

Odd+odd=even
Odd+even =odd
even+even=even

so Odd 1st Even 2nd
P(Odd+Even)=
(0.5)(0.5)=0.25
Even 1st Odd 2nd
P(Even+Odd)=(0.5)(0.5)=0.25

Total probability= 0.25+0.25=0.5
