    P (odd) or P (multiple of 5)

    When we roll 2 number cubes

    all possible outcomes of their sum are 2,3,4,5,6,7,8,9,10,11,12. (11 possible outcomes)

    Out of those possible outcomes

    3,5,7,9,11 are odd (5 outcomes) and ...

    5 and 10 are multiples of 5 (2 outcomes)

    Now, P (odd) or P (multiple of 5) really means P (odd) + P (multiple of 5) =

    (If we had "and" instead of "or" we multiply)

    = (5/11) + (2/11)

    =7/11
