Multiple Choice

Obtain the probability distribution of the random variable.
-When two balanced dice are rolled, 36 equally likely outcomes are possible as shown below. $(1,1) (1,2) (1,3) (1,4) (1,5) (1,6)$
$(2,1) (2,2) (2,3) (2,4) (2,5) (2,6)$
$(3,1) (3,2) (3,3) (3,4) (3,5) (3,6)$
$(4,1) (4,2) (4,3) (4,4) (4,5) (4,6)$
$(5,1) (5,2) (5,3) (5,4) (5,5) (5,6)$
$(6,1) (6,2) (6,3) (6,4) (6,5) (6,6)$
