Question

Calculate the probability of the sum of the values on two fair dice being 8 is an even number.

Answer 1

Answer:
`(3)/(36)=(1)/(12)`

Explanation:

Given

Sum of the number is 8 which can be brought in 5 ways

i.e.

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

Probability of each this pair is
`(1)/(36)`

also it is given that it should be even number then only

(4,4),(6,2),(2,6) is our choice

Therefore the probability that the value on two fair dice being 8 is an even number

then it is
`(3)/(36)=(1)/(12)`
