Solution

Two dice are thrown $500$ times. So, the total number of trials are $500$ .

Let $E_{4}$ be the event that sum of two numbers appearing on the uppermost faces of two dice be between $8$ and $12$ .

Number of times in which the event happened $= 53 + 46 + 28 = 127$

$∴ P (E_{4}) = \frac{N u m b e r o f t r a i l s i n w h i c h t h e e v e n t h a p p e d}{T o t a l n u m b e r o f t r a i l s} = \frac{127}{500} = 0.254$
