The probability of getting a total of 8 when two dice are rolled is 0.139.
Probability is a number that expresses the likelihood or chance that a specific event will take place. Probabilities can be represented by proportions on a 0–1 scale.
A single die will have six sides with the numbers: 1, 2, 3, 4, 5, and 6. Each of these events is equally likely to occur if the dice are rolled fairly. So the probability of getting any side of the number is 1/6. Therefore, the probability of getting 1 in dice is 1/6, 2 is 1/6, and so on.
Therefore, the total possible outcomes are the multiplication of the total possible outcomes on dice 1 and dice 2, which is 36.
This possible outcome of rolling two dice is given by,
The probability of getting a total of 8 from both dice is given by, (2, 6) (3, 5) (4, 4) (5, 3) (6, 2). So the number of favorable outcomes is 5 and the total outcome is 36. The probability is P(getting a total of 8 from both dices)=5/36= 0.139.
The answer is 0.139.
The complete question is -
