Imagine that one die is red and the other black. How many different ways can you roll the dice?

Now, how many ways can you roll the dice and get a sum that is greater than 3 but not greater than 5?

The number of ways you can roll such a number, divided by the total number of possible rolls, is the probability of rolling such a number.
