Question:        

You roll two regular six-sided dice. Is it more likely that the dice add up to 7 or that the dice add up to 8? Or are those two outcomes equally likely?
 

Answer:

There are six ways to roll 7 ((1,6), (2,5), (3,4), (4,3), (5,2), (6,1)) and five ways to roll 8 ((2,6), (3,5), (4,4), (5,3), (6,2)). Therefore, it is more likely to roll dice that add to seven than eight.
