Bihar Police Constable Model Paper 6

Concept used:
P(E) = Number of events/Number of possible outcomes
Calculations:
Two dice are thrown simultaneously
So, the total possible out comes = 6 × 6 = 36
Total number of events of getting a sum of 8 = (2,6), (3,5), (4,4), (5,3), (6,2) = 5
So, the probability of getting a sum of 8 = 5/36 = 5/36
∴ The probability of getting a sum of 8 is 5/36
