Hey there!

When throwing a six-sided dice 10 times, the lowest possible sum is 10 (each time we get 1), and any other combination results in a sum greater than 10. Therefore, the probability of the sum being greater than 10 is 1 minus the probability of getting a sum of 10 or less.

Sometimes, considering the complementary event might be a simpler approach!
