Answer:

78

Explanation:

probability of getting a 5 which is 78.

Another way to look at this is that if we know the probability of the result being 5, then the probability of it not being 5 is just one minus that probability. We know that 5 is just one out of the 8 possibilities, so

P5=18

So the probability of not 5 is

Pnot5=1−P5=1−18=78
