Explanation

When rolling two standard dice, the most probable sum is 7. There are 6 combinations that give 7 (1+6, 2+5, 3+4, 4+3, 5+2, 6+1) out of 36 total possibilities. Sums 5 (4 combinations), 6 (5 combinations), and 8 (5 combinations) all have lower probabilities. The probability distribution is symmetric around 7.
