Read this excerpt from "Shooting an Elephant" by George Orwell: I perceived in this moment that when the white man turns tyrant

it is his own freedom that he destroys. He becomes a sort of hollow, posing dummy, the conventionalized figure of a sahib. For it is the condition of his rule that he shall spend his life in trying to impress the "natives," and so in every crisis he has got to do what the "natives" expect of him. . . . A sahib has got to act like a sahib; he has got to appear resolute, to know his own mind and do definite things. Based on this excerpt, what does "sahib" most likely mean?
A. Hunter and tracker
B. Sir or master
C. Elephant keeper
D. Native of Southeast Asia

The term "sahib" means B. Sir or master.

George Orwell explains that the worst thing for a man is to turn into a tyrant,  since he then becomes some kind of "sahib", an authoritative figure to which natives must respect and rely on. This person must have determination in his decisions and actions. In fact, the word "sahib" was used as a respectful way in which natives used to refer to and address their masters.

Two number cubes are rolled. What is the probability that the sum of the numbers rolled is either a 6 or an 8?
egoroff_w [7]

Let us assume that the cubes are numbered from 1 to 6 in their six faces.



When these two cubes are rolled, the possible values could be,



(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)



Total possibilities are 36.



Now the sum of the numbers are either 4 or 10. Those numbers are



(1,3) (2,2) (3,1) -> this sums to 6



(4,6) (5,5) (6,4) -> this sums to 8



Total possibilities of getting sum 4 or 10 is 6.



So, the possibility of getting sum of or from a pair of rolled cubes is



6/36 = 1/6
