There are 36 total possible outcomes.
Rolling a sum of 11 or higher, there are 3 possible rolls, to make a 3/36 = 1/12 probability.
Rolling a sum of 4 there are also 3 possibilities, so the chance would be the same.
Rolling a sum of 9, there are 4 possibilities, which is a better chance.
Rolling a sum less than 5, there is 6 possibilities, which is a better chance.
Rolling greater than 5 but less than 7 means rolling a sum of 6, there are 5 chances, which is a better chance.
Rolling greater than 9 but less than 11, means rolling a 10, there are 3 possibilities, which is the same.
Rolling greater than 2 and less than 4 means rolling a 3, there are 2 possibilities, which is less.
The answers would be:
Rolling a sum of 9,
Rolling a sum less than 5
Rolling greater than 5 but less than 7
