Question

When two dice are thrown, list the number outcomes of an even of getting equal to $8$.

• A. $2$
• B. $3$
• C. $4$
• D. $5$

Answer 1

The correct option is D $5$

Two dices were rolled.

Total outcomes in sample space: $S=36$

Outcomes which have sum as $8$ are $\left\{\right(2,6\left)\right(3,5\left)\right(4,4\left)\right(5,3\left)\right(6,2\left)\right\}$.

Total favourable outcomes $=5$
