Question

An eight-sided die is tossed. Determine the odds against rolling an 8.

Answer 1

Answer is 7:1

Reason:

There are 7 outcomes we don't want vs 1 outcome we do want

outcomes we don't want = rolling one of the following {1,2,3,4,5,6,7}

outcome we want = rolling an 8

Answer 2

The chances of rolling an 8 on a 8 sided dice is 2% so 2/10 or 25/100
