Question

Consider rolling dice and getting a total of 8. Find the probability if two dice are rolled. (Enter the value of probability in decimals. Round the answer to three decimal places.)

Answer 1

Answer:

13.89%

Step-by-step explanation:

The probability when two dices are rolled and their sum is 8 is shown below:

But before that we need to see the probabilities of the sum i.e 8

2 + 6 = 8

3 + 5 = 8

4 + 4 = 8

5 + 3 = 8

6 + 2 = 8

There are 5 outcomes

And, the two dice is 36 i.e square of 6

So, the probability of  two dices are rolled and their sum is 8 is

= $\frac{5}{36}$

= 13.89%
