If you roll a total of 8 on two dice you win.
Find the probability of rolling an 8 and see if this probability seems to be true by rolling the dice a large number of times.
sum of 8: 2/6,3/5,4/4,5/3,6/2 ----5 ways
P(sum = 8) = 5/36
------------------------
WIll you win a lot of money?---No
------------------------
A large number would be between 75-100.
What is the probability of drawing an 8?
Confusing question.

How many times rolled the dice and how many times rolled was an 8?
Confusing question.
