Question

a single throw of two dice. the probability of getting an even number on first die or total of 8​

Answer 1

1.

When you roll two standard six sided dice there are 6 outcomes for each die so there are a total of 36 outcomes, because each die is independent of the other.

There are 5 dice rolls that have a total sum of 8.

(2,6) (3,5) (4,4) (5,3) (6,2).

So the probability of getting a sum of 8 is 5/36 or approximately 13.89%.

2.

Dice has these numbers on it’s surface: 1,2,3,4,5,6 . There are 3 even and 3 odd numbers. Probability of getting even number on first dice is 3/6 = 1/2 = 0.5

Answer 2

Step-by-step explanation:

probability of getting even no.on first dice =3/36=1/12

and probability of getting total 8=6,2 5,3 4,4 3,5 2,6

5/36 (36 is the total probability )

so total probability of getting both results

=3/36+5/36=8/36=2/9 hope it helps thanks
