Answer:

5/36

Step-by-step explanation:

Probability is the outcome that a event will occur

Probability = Expected outcome/Total outcome

Since two sided dice are rolled, the total outcome will be expressed as;

Total outcome = 36

Since we are to find the probability that the sum is 8, the values that gives a sum of 8a re;

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

The expected outcome = 5

Probability = 5/36

Hence the probability that the sum is 8 is 5/36

Eddi Din [679]

20,000 = P ( 1 + 0.1 )^4
20,000 = P * 1.1^4
20,000 = P * 1.461
P = 20,000 : 1.461 ≈ $13,689.25
Answer: Miranda needs to put now in the bank $13,689.25
