3. a pair of 6-sided dice is thrown. someone tells you that both the dice are showing an even number. with this information, what is the probability of the total (when you sum up the dice) being equal to 8?

Respuesta :

The probability of the total being equal to 8 is 1/9 or 11.11%.

To calculate this probability, we must first calculate all the possible combinations of two six-sided dice that add up to 8. Since both the dice are showing an even number, the possible combinations are (2, 6), (4, 4), and (6, 2). the total number of possible combinations for two six-sided dice is 36 (6 x 6). Therefore, the probability of the total being equal to 8 is 3/36 or 1/9 or 11.11%.
