totally 6×6=36 possibilitie  one “2”: 2×5=10 possibilities  two “2”: 1 possibility  no “2”: 36−10−1=25  ⇒p=((25)/(36))
$${totally}\:\mathrm{6}×\mathrm{6}=\mathrm{36}\:{possibilitie} \\ $$$${one}\:“\mathrm{2}'':\:\mathrm{2}×\mathrm{5}=\mathrm{10}\:{possibilities} \\ $$$${two}\:“\mathrm{2}'':\:\mathrm{1}\:{possibility} \\ $$$${no}\:“\mathrm{2}'':\:\mathrm{36}−\mathrm{10}−\mathrm{1}=\mathrm{25} \\ $$$$\Rightarrow{p}=\frac{\mathrm{25}}{\mathrm{36}} \\ $$

(2,1), (2,2), (2,3), (2,4), (2,5), (2,6)  (1,2), (3,2), (4,2), (5,2), (6,2)    Getting number 2 = ((11)/(36))  Not getting number 2 = 1 − ((11)/(36)) = ((25)/(36))
$$\left(\mathrm{2},\mathrm{1}\right),\:\left(\mathrm{2},\mathrm{2}\right),\:\left(\mathrm{2},\mathrm{3}\right),\:\left(\mathrm{2},\mathrm{4}\right),\:\left(\mathrm{2},\mathrm{5}\right),\:\left(\mathrm{2},\mathrm{6}\right) \\ $$$$\left(\mathrm{1},\mathrm{2}\right),\:\left(\mathrm{3},\mathrm{2}\right),\:\left(\mathrm{4},\mathrm{2}\right),\:\left(\mathrm{5},\mathrm{2}\right),\:\left(\mathrm{6},\mathrm{2}\right) \\ $$$$ \\ $$$$\mathrm{Getting}\:\mathrm{number}\:\mathrm{2}\:=\:\frac{\mathrm{11}}{\mathrm{36}} \\ $$$$\mathrm{Not}\:\mathrm{getting}\:\mathrm{number}\:\mathrm{2}\:=\:\mathrm{1}\:−\:\frac{\mathrm{11}}{\mathrm{36}}\:=\:\frac{\mathrm{25}}{\mathrm{36}} \\ $$
