Question

when two dice are rolled, find the probability of getting a greater number on the first die than the one on the second, given that the sum should equal 8

Answer 1

Step-by-step explanation:

let this EVENT  be A

(the probability of getting a greater number on the first die than the one on the second, given that the sum should equal 8)

A=(5,3) , (6,2)

there fore no. of A=2

probability of A = no. of A ÷ no. of S

                          =2 ÷ 36

                          = 1 ÷ 18
