Question

the table below shows all possibilities of the outcome of rolling two 6-sided number cubes what is the possibility of rolling a sum of 8​

Answer 1

Final answer is
`(5)/(36)`.

Explanation:

Given that two 6-sided number cubes are rolled. Now we need to find about what is the possibility of rolling a sum of 8​.

From the sample space, you can see that there are total 36 possible outcomes.

out of those outcomes, there are only 5 outcomes that has sum = 8

which are {(2,6), (3,5), (4,4), (5,3), (6,2)}.

Hence probability of rolling a sum of 8
`=(5)/(36)`.

Hence final answer is
`(5)/(36)`.
