An experiment consists of casting a pair of dice and observing the number that falls uppermost on each die. We may represent each outcome of the experiment by an ordered pair of numbers, the first representing the number that appears uppermost on the first die and the second representing the number that appears uppermost on the second die. Consider the sample space....(WILL INCLUDE PICTURE)

Determine the event that the sum of the numbers falling uppermost is less than or equal to 7.

Should the question say the following?
'Determine the probability of the event that the sum of the numbers falling uppermost is less than or equal to 7.'

There are 36 pairs of numbers in the sample space. First you need to count up how many pairs sum up to 7 or to less than 7. Then when you have this number, divide it by 36 to find the required probability.
