There are 36 equally-likely possibilities for a 2-dice roll (six possibilities for each die, multiplied together). Let's consider the probability of the sum being less than or equal to 4. There is only one way to roll a 2 (1+1), there are two ways to roll a 3 (1+2, 2+1), and three ways to roll a 4 (1+3, 2+2, 3+1). So there are 6 ways to roll at most a 4, meaning that there must be 36-6=30 ways to roll more than a 4. The probabiliity of rolling a sum greater than 4 is therefore 30/36, or 5/6.
