Question

Two dice are thrown simultaneously at random. Find the probability of getting sum of eight

Answer 1

Answer:5/36

Step-by-step explanation:

Possible no. of outcomes are (2,6),(3,5),(4,4),(5,3),(6,2) = 5

Total no. of outcomes = 36

Therefore probability = 5/36

Answer 2

$\frac{5}{36}$  is the probability of getting sum of eight

Step-by-step explanation:

Given Data

To find - the probability of getting a sum of eight when two dies are thrown simultaneously.

Probability is defined as number of possibilities are divided by the total number of terms.

The formula to find the probability is $P(A)=\frac{n(A)}{n(S)}$

Where n(A) is the number o possibilities and n(S) is the total number of terms.

Total number of terms when two dice are thrown simultaneously ,  n(S) = 36

The possibilities of getting sum of eight (A) = (2,6), (3,5), (4,4), (5,3) and (6,2)

Number of possibilities of getting sum of eight n(A) = 5

Then the probability is, $P(A)=\frac{5}{36}$

Therefore the probability of getting sum eight when two dies are thrown simultaneously is $\frac{5}{36}$
