Two fair dice are tossed, find the probability that total score that show up is:

A) 8
B)less than 6
C) greater than equal to 9
D) a prime number

Oh no, Mr. Bot is really wrong this time

A) on my grid I counted 5 8's, so
prob(8) = 5/36
B) prob(<6) = 10/36 = 5/18
C) prob(≥9) = 10/36 = 5/18

A) 8: 1/36

B) Less than 6: 1/3
C) Greater than equal to 9: 1/18
D) A prime number: 2/9

Did you know?

Did you know that when two fair dice are tossed, the probability of getting a total score of 8 is 5/36? This is because there are five possible combinations that result in a total of 8 (2+6, 3+5, 4+4, 5+3, and 6+2) out of a total of 36 possible outcomes when two dice are tossed. Did you know that the probability of getting a total score less than 6 when tossing two fair dice is 5/12? This is because there are five possible combinations that result in a total less than 6 (1+1, 1+2, 1+3, 2+1, and 3+1) out of a total of 12 outcomes. Did you know that the probability of getting a total score greater than or equal to 9 when tossing two fair dice is 10/36 or 5/18? This is because there are 10 possible combinations that result in a total of 9, 10, 11, or 12 (3+6, 4+5, 5+4, 6+3, 6+4, 4+6, 5+5, 5+6, 6+5, and 6+6) out of a total of 36 possible outcomes. Did you know that the probability of getting a total score that is a prime number when tossing two fair dice is 15/36 or 5/12? This is because there are 15 possible combinations that result in a total of 2, 3, 5, 7, 11, or 12 (1+1, 1+2, 1+4, 2+1, 2+3, 3+2, 2+5, 5+2, 4+1, 1+6, 6+1, 3+4, 4+3, 5+6, and 6+5) out of a total of 36 possible outcomes.
