On the roll of dice wha are the odds for rolling a sum equal to 8?

Answer 1

1 in 6.666 recurring.

Answer 2

I suppose you roll the same dye twice? The combinations are 2+6, 3+5, 4+4, 5+3 and 6+2. There are 6x6 = 36 combinations so the odds of throwing 8 with two throws are 5/36. Not that hard!

Answer 3

12 to 1. (30 to 1 for 2 fours.)

Answer 4

How many dice are you rolling? 2? If so,

2,6
3,5
4,4
5,3
6,2

5/36

There you go.

Answer 5

Write down all the ways you can roll two dice:

{(1,1), (1,2), (1,3), (1,4), (1,5), (1,6),
(2,1), (2,2), (2,3), (2,4), (2,5), (2,6),
(3,1), (3,2), (3,3), (3,4), (3,5), (3,6),
(4,1), (4,2), (4,3), (4,4), (4,5), (4,6),
(5,1), (5,2), (5,3), (5,4), (5,5), (6,6),
(6,1), (6,2), (6,3), (6,4), (6,5), (6,6)}.

Now check which of them sum to 8:

{(2,6),(3,5),(4,4),(5,3),(6,2)}

There are 5 ways to sum to 8, and 31 ways not to sum to 8. The odds are 5 to 31.
