Concept used: P(E) = Number of events/Number of possible outcomes Calculations: Two dice are thrown simultaneously So, the total possible out comes = 6 × 6 = 36 Total number of events of getting a sum of 8 = (2,6), (3,5), (4,4), (5,3), (6,2) = 5 So, the probability of getting a sum of 8 = 5/36 = 5/36 ∴ The probability of getting a sum of 8 is 5/36
