Question

Two dice are thrown at the same time. What is the probability that the sum of the two numbers appearing on the top of the dice is 8?​

Answer 1

Answer:

two dice are thrown simultaneously means

means write sample space first then you will get n(s) as 36 .then add up the pairs and see whether you are getting 8 like for eg pair is(5,3) count and write

Answer 2

Answer:

There are 36 possibilities

(1,1), (1,2), (1,3), (1,4), (1,5), (1,6)

(2,1), (2,2), (2,3), (2,4), (2,5), (2,6)

(3,1), (3,2), (3,3), (3,4), (3,5), (3,6)

(4,1), (4,2), (4,3), (4,4), (4,5), (4,6)

(5,1), (5,2), (5,3), (5,4), (5,5), (5,6)

(6,1), (6,2), (6,3), (6,4), (6,5), (6,6)

And there is a probability of (8) to occur 5 times out of 36 possibilities

Therefore the probability is 5/36
