** You can't get a sum of 1 on two cards. There is also no way to get a sum of two, since the lowest total possible is 1 + 2 = 3.

There are 2 ways to get total 3. You can get 1 on the first and 2 on the second, or vice versa.

There are 2 ways to get total 4. You can get 1 on the first and 3 on the second, or vice versa.

There are 4 ways to get total 5. You can get 1 on the first and 4 on the second, or vice versa, or 2 on the first and 3 on the second, or vice versa.

There are 4 ways to get total 6. You can get 1 on the first and 5 on the second, or vice versa, or 2 on the first and 4 on the second, or vice versa.

There are 4 ways to get total 7. You can get 2 on the first and 5 on the second, or vice versa, or 4 on the first and 3 on the second, or vice versa.

There are 2 ways to get total 8. You can get 3 on the first and 5 on the second, or vice versa.

There are 2 ways to get total 9. You can get 4 on the first and 5 on the second, or vice versa.

You can't get more than 9.

There are 2+2+4+4+4+2+2 = 20 possibilities, so the probabilities are 2/20, 4/20, 5/20, etc..

The expected sum is therefore

2/20 * 3 + 2/20 * 4 + 4/20 * 5 + 4/20 * 6 + 4/20 * 7 + 2/20 * 8 + 2/20 * 9.

This gives 120 / 20 = 6. **
