\n" ); document.write( "total no. of ways to show faces if one is 5 = 2*6 = 12 \r
\n" ); document.write( "\n" ); document.write( "i.e (1,5),(2,5)............(5,1),(5,2),......(5,6).\r
\n" ); document.write( "
\n" ); document.write( "\n" ); document.write( "no. of ways to showing sum 8 if one dice is showing 5 = 2 i.e [5,3] and [3,5]\r
\n" ); document.write( "
\n" ); document.write( "
\n" ); document.write( "\n" ); document.write( " so, probability that the sum is 8 = 2/12\r
\n" ); document.write( "
\n" ); document.write( "
\n" ); document.write( "\n" ); document.write( "= 1/6 \r
\n" ); document.write( "
\n" ); document.write( "
\n" ); document.write( "\n" ); document.write( "
\n" ); document.write( "
\n" );
