Question

in a single throw of two dice, the probability of getting a total 8 is. ​

Answer 1

For any outcome of the first die there are 6 possible outcomes for the second. Therefore there are 6 x 6 = 36 possible outcomes.

Of all those outcomes, the ones for which a + b = 8 are:

2+6, 3+5, 4+4, 5+3, 6+2 or 5 outcomes.

Probability is the ratio of the number of expected outcomes to the number of all possible outcomes, so in this case

P = 5/36 ≈ 0,1389 or 13,89 %.

Answer 2

HEY MATE!!!

For first outcome of die there are 6 possible outcomes and for second..There are 6×6=36.

The outcomes whose sum are equal to 8......

2+6 , 3+5 , 4+4 , 5+3 , 6+2 (i.e. 5 possible outcomes)...

PROBABILITY IS THE RATIO OF NO. OF FAVOURABLE OUTCOMES TO THE TOTAL NO. OF OUTCOMES.....

P = 5/36
