Question

Two dice one blue and one grey,are thrown at the same time.what is the probability that the sum of two numbers appearing on the top of the dice is 8

Answer 1

Answer:

probability that sum of two numbers is 8 is =5/36

Step-by-step explanation:

from the question,

total number of outcomes =36

let event A be sum of two numbers is 8 =5 ((2,6), (3,5), (4,4), (5,3), (6,2))

therefore,

probability of getting the sum of two numbers 8 =5/36

i.e,P (A)=5/36

Answer 2

Question:ㅤㅤㅤㅤㅤㅤㅤㅤㅤㅤㅤㅤ

Two dice one blue and one grey,are thrown at the same time.what is the probability that the sum of two numbers appearing on the top of the dice is 8.

Solution:

Total no. of possible outcomes = 6 × 6 = 36

ㅤㅤㅤㅤㅤㅤㅤㅤㅤㅤㅤㅤ

ㅤㅤㅤㅤㅤㅤㅤㅤㅤㅤㅤㅤ

The outcomes favourable to event 'The sum of two numbers is 8 ' denoted by E are :

(2,6) , ( 3,5) , (4,4) ,(5,3) ,(6,2) i.e the number of favourable outcomes to E = 5

ㅤㅤㅤㅤㅤㅤㅤㅤㅤㅤㅤㅤ

ㅤㅤㅤㅤㅤㅤㅤㅤㅤㅤㅤㅤ

$: \implies \tt { P(E) = \dfrac {5}{36}}$
