A. 5/36
B. 4/36
C. 1/12
D. 1/2
o find the probability of rolling a sum of 8 on two dice rolls, we need to enumerate all the possible outcomes where the sum is 8 and then divide it by the total number of outcomes when rolling two dice.
The possible combinations of rolls that result in a sum of 8 are:
(2, 6), (3, 5), (4, 4), (5, 3), and (6, 2).
Each die has 6 faces, so there are 6 possible outcomes for each roll. Thus, the total number of outcomes when rolling two dice is
6×6=36
Therefore, the probability of rolling a sum of 8 is the number of favorable outcomes (5) divided by the total number of outcomes (36).
So, the correct answer is A.
5/36
Correct Answer: 5/36 ✔
