please solve this problem:two dice are thrown. find the probability that the sum is greater than 8?
list sum = 8: 2/6 ; 3*5 ; 4*4 ; 5/3 ; 6/2
# of sum = 8: 5
---
Sum greater than 8:
# of sum = 9: 4
# of sum = 10: 3
# of sum = 11: 2
# of sum = 12: 1
---------------------
# of ways to succeed: 10
# of possible sums: 36
----
P(sum is greater than 8:: 10/36 = 5/18
