To determine the number of outcomes where the sum of both dice is 7, we can look at the table. There are 6 possible outcomes where the first die is 1 and the second die is 6, i.e. (1,6), (2,5), (3,4), (4,3), (5,2), and (6,1). Similarly, there are 6 possible outcomes where the first die is 6 and the second die is 1. Therefore, the total number of outcomes where the sum is 7 is 6 + 6 = 12.
