Question
In a single throw of two dices, what is the probability of getting a sum of 8 or 11?
Explanation
Total outcomes for two dice equal 36. Favorable combinations for 8 are (2,6)(3,5)(4,4)(5,3)(6,2) five cases, for 11 are (5,6)(6,5) two cases. Since mutually exclusive, probability equals 7/36 by addition rule.
