Answer:
C 1/3
Explanation:
The numbers on a 6-sides die are 1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6.
The number of an 8-sided die are 1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6, 7, 8.
All the possible sums are:
2, 3, 4, 5, 6, 7, 8, 9,
3, 4, 5, 6, 7, 8, 9, 10,
4, 5, 6, 7, 8, 9, 10, 11,
5, 6, 7, 8, 9, 10, 11, 12
6, 7, 8, 9, 10, 11, 12, 13
7, 8, 9, 10, 11, 12 ,13, 14
The multiples of 3 are shown in bold and italic.
There are 48 possible sums.
16 sums are multiples of 3.
p(numbers whose sum is a multiple of 3) =
(number of outcomes that are multiples of 3)/(total number of possible outcomes)
p(numbers whose sum is a multiple of 3) = 16/48
p(numbers whose sum is a multiple of 3) = 1/3
Answer: C 1/3
