Solution

(i) 8
Total number of outcomes $= 36$
Probability that sum of two numbers is 8 $= \frac{N o . o f o u t c o m e s w h e r e s u m i s 8}{T o t a l n o . o f o u t c o m e s}$
$= \frac{5}{36}$

(ii) Less than or equal to 12
Total number of outcomes $= 36$
Probability that sum of two numbers is less than or equal to 12 $= \frac{N o . o f o u t c o m e s w h e r e s u m i s l e s s t h a n o r e q u a l t o 12}{T o t a l n o . o f o u t c o m e s}$
$= \frac{36}{36}$
$= 1$
