Answer:

1/3

1/2

Explanation:

Sum being greter than 8, means 9,10,11,12 (12 is max as 6+6)

You can get 9 in these ways, (6+3),(5+4),(4+5),(3+6)

For 10, (6+4),(5+5),(5+5),(4+6)

For 11, (6+5),(5+6)

For 12 (6+6),(6+6)

Each outcome has probability of 1/6 x 1/6 = 1/36

There are 12 outcomes hence 12(1/36) = 12/36 = 1/3

Part b is 1/2 because half of dice has odd numbers.
