Question

One die is blue and the other die is yellow. Both are rolled. What is the probability of getting the shm of 8?

Answer 1

5 /36

Explanation:

Sample space :

Number of faces^number of dice = 6^2 = 36

Sum of 8 on a roll of 2 dies :

Probability = required outcome / Total possible outcomes

Required outcome = number of times a sum of 8 is obtained on a roll of 2 dies = 5

Total possible outcomes = sample space = 36

P(obtaining a sum of 8) = 5 /36
