Question

Two dice are thrown simultaneously. What is the probability that the sum of the two numbers appearing on the top of the dice is 8

Answer 1

Therefore the required probability is $=\frac{5}{36}$

Step-by-step explanation:

Probability: The ratio of favorable outcome to total outcomes.

Given that,

Two dice are thrown simultaneously.

From any outcome from the first die there are 6 possible outcomes.

Total number of outcomes is = $6^2$

                                                =36

The favorable outcomes are

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

Total favorable outcomes is =5

Therefore the required probability is $=\frac{5}{36}$
