Answer 2

?

Answer 3

Ok.....
We have total of 36 cases when we roll 2 dice
And we want the cases i which sum would be 8
So we have cases as :
2+6,3+5,4+4,4+4,5+3,6+2 = 6 cases (remember 4+4 cases would be 2 as the dices are not taken identical here for ex take a blue and other red so we can easily see there would be two seprate cases of 4+4)
This probability=6/36=1/6

Answer 4
