Answer 2

Answer: 5

Step-by-step explanation:

Given : Leslie needs to roll an 8 with 2 dice to win a game.

Number of outcomes , when we roll a die {1 ,2,3,4,5,6} =6

When we roll two dice the total number of outcomes are:

$6\times6=36$

The possible outcomes when we roll two dice :-

(1, 1) (1, 2) (1, 3) (1, 4) (1, 5) (1, 6)

(2, 1) (2, 2) (2, 3) (2, 4) (2, 5) (2, 6)

(3, 1) (3, 2) (3, 3) (3, 4) (3, 5) (3, 6)

(4, 1) (4, 2) (4, 3) (4, 4) (4, 5) (4, 6)

(5, 1) (5, 2) (5, 3) (5, 4) (5, 5) (5, 6)

(6, 1) (6, 2) (6, 3) (6, 4) (6, 5) (6, 6)

The favorable outcomes to get sum as 8 :-

{(2,6), (6,2), (3,5), (5,3), (4,4)}

Hence, the number of possible outcomes are there for her to win = 5
