Question 149030
Two dice are rolled. Find the probability of getting a sum greater than 8

Is it 0, 13/36, 2/9, 5/18.
---------------------------------


Sketch a 6 by 6 array of the sums you get
when the 1st die is 1,2,3,4,5,6, and the 2nd die is 1,2,3,4,5,6
You should have 36 entries that range from a sum of 1+1=2 to 6+6 = 12
--------------------------
count the number of sums that are greater than 8 : ?
------------
Divide that number by 36 to get the probability.
