Question

Quizplus · Accepted Answer

We can find the sum of greater than 8 in the following ways: (2, 7), (3, 6), (4, 5), (5, 4), (6, 3), (7, 2), (8, 1). These are the only possible outcomes where the sum is greater than 8. The total number of possible outcomes is 6 * 6 = 36 (since each die can show one of six possible numbers). Therefore, the probability of getting a sum greater than 8 is 7/36 (since there are 7 favorable outcomes out of 36 possible outcomes).
