Step-by-step explanation:

To solve this, we will use the table below

The total number of sample space is given below as


n(S)=36

The total number on the sum table of the two die that is less than 10 is


n(R)=30

From the image below, it can be indicated

Hence,

The probability of rolling a sum less than 10 will be


(n(R))/(n(S))=(30)/(36)=(5)/(6)

Hence,

The final answer is


\Rightarrow(5)/(6)
