Question

Two dice are thrown simultaneously. What is the probability of obtaining a total score of 8?

• A. $\frac{5}{36}$
• B. $\frac{7}{36}$
• C. $\frac{11}{36}$
• D. $\frac{13}{36}$

Answer 1

The correct option is A $\frac{5}{36}$

{$(3,5)(5,3)(2,6)(6,2)(4,4)$ } = $5$ cases
total = $6\ast 6=36$
P = $5/36$
