Question 1119284
.


When two dice are rolled find the probability of getting:



21.  &nbsp;&nbsp;<U>A sum greater than 8.</U>


<pre>
     Of the total  6*6 = 36 possible pairs-outcomes (D1,D2), there are 4 + 3 + 2 + 1 = 10 favorable pairs:


            9 = 3+6 = 4+5 = 5+4 = 6+3    (4 pairs),

           10 = 4+6 = 5+5 = 6+4          (3 pairs),

           11 = 5+6 = 6+5                (2 pairs),

           12 = 6+6                      (1 pair).


      Therefore, the probability under the question is  {{{10/36}}} = {{{5/18}}} = 0.2778 = 27.78%.

22.  &nbsp;&nbsp;<U>A sum that is divisible by 3.</U>

     Do it on your own by the same way.
