Question

Two dice are rolled. Determine the probability of the following.
Rolling an even number or a number greater than 8

Answer 1

Answer:  2/3

Explanation:

Refer to the dice chart below. The numbers in blue boxes represent getting an even number or rolling something larger than 8.

There are 24 blue boxes. The probability of landing on a blue space is 24/36 where 36 represents the number of ways to roll two dice (because 6*6 = 36). That fraction reduces to 2/3
