There are 6 ways in which the number of dots on two dice can sum to 7 (1+6, 2+5, 3+4, 4+3, 5+2, 6+1), out of a total of 36 possible outcomes (6 outcomes for the first die multiplied by 6 outcomes for the second die). Therefore, the probability of the number of dots on the two dice summing to 7 is 6/36 or 1/6.
