Answer

$\dfrac{1}{2}$

Work Step by Step

The sample space has a total of $10$ elements. The numbers greater than $6$ and less than $12$ are $\{7,8,9,10,11\}$. All in all, there are $5$ events that satisfy the condition "greater than $6$ and less than $12$." Hence, \begin{align*}\require{cancel} P(\text{greater than $6$ and less than $12$})&= \dfrac{5}{10} \\\\&= \dfrac{\cancel5^1}{\cancel{10}^2} &\text{(divide by $5$)} \\\\&= \dfrac{1}{2} .\end{align*}
