Answer:

7 / 16

Explanation:

Sample space is attached below :

Theoretical Probability of any event A

P(A) = (number of required outcome / Total number of possible outcomes)

Required outcome = sum greater than 7 = 14

Total number of possible outcomes = 32

P(sum greater than 7) = 14 / 32

P(sum greater than 7) = 7 / 16
