Just regular dice, it has total possible outcomes. You will see there are 12 of them have a total of 4, if you would see.
So, the answer would be
12/36=1/3

the rest can also be obtained by counting. the probability you get a sum of 2 is

4/36

So, for a sum of 6 and the probability you get a sum of 3 and the probability you get a sum of 5 is 8/36
