Two dice are rolled. Find the probability of getting a sum greater than 8\r
\n" ); document.write( "\n" ); document.write( "Is it 0, 13/36, 2/9, 5/18.
\n" ); document.write( "---------------------------------\r
\n" ); document.write( "
\n" ); document.write( "\n" ); document.write( "Sketch a 6 by 6 array of the sums you get
\n" ); document.write( "when the 1st die is 1,2,3,4,5,6, and the 2nd die is 1,2,3,4,5,6
\n" ); document.write( "You should have 36 entries that range from a sum of 1+1=2 to 6+6 = 12
\n" ); document.write( "--------------------------
\n" ); document.write( "count the number of sums that are greater than 8 : ?
\n" ); document.write( "------------
\n" ); document.write( "Divide that number by 36 to get the probability.
\n" ); document.write( "=========================
