Step-by-Step Solution

There are 36 ordered outcomes. A difference of 3 gives (1,4),(4,1),(2,5),(5,2),(3,6),(6,3) = 6; a difference of 4 gives (1,5),(5,1),(2,6),(6,2) = 4; a difference of 5 gives (1,6),(6,1) = 2. Total = 12, so counts each pair once instead of in both orders; drops the difference-of-5 pairs; is the complement.
