probablity= no of favourable outcomes/ total number of outcomes
=5/36
hope it helps☺

Answer 2

To Find:

The probability of getting a sum of 8 on rolling two dice

Explanation:

While dealing with 2 dice we know that each die has 6 different possibilities, the outcomes of rolling 2 dice will be given by

6×6, that is equal to 36.

How many ways can we get 8 with two dice?

2+6=8

3+5=8

4+4=8

5+3=8

6+2=8

Thus, P(sum of 8 with two dice)=5/36

Therefore the probability that we get the sum as 8 when two dice are thrown = 5/36

Answer = 5/36.
