The table below shows all of the possible outcomes for rolling two six-sided number cubes.

A table containing 36 possible outcomes. There are 5 desired outcomes.

What is the probability of rolling a sum of 8?
StartFraction 1 over 12 EndFraction
StartFraction 5 over 36 EndFraction
StartFraction 1 over 6 EndFraction
StartFraction 7 over 36 EndFraction

Respuesta :

The probability of rolling a sum of 8 is StartFraction 5 over 36 EndFraction.

Step-by-step explanation:

The total possible outcomes = 36

The desired outcomes are (2,6), (3,5), (4,4), (5,3), (6,2).

The number of desired outcomes = 5

Probability = number of desired outcomes / total possible outcomes

                   = 5/36

∴ Probability is StartFraction 5 over 36 EndFraction

Answer:

A - 1/12
