Question

Find the probablity of getting an even number on the first die or a total of 8 in a single throw of 2 dices

Answer 1

Hey!

1) Favorable outcome possibility= {2,4,6}=3.
Total outcome= 6.
Probability of even number= 3/6 = 1/2.

2) Favorable outcome possibility={(2,6),(3,5),(4,4),(5,3),(6,2)}=5.
Total outcome= 36 as their are two dices.
So probability of sum 8 = 5/36.

Hope it helps.
