We know that,

Probability of occurrence of an event

Total outcomes are (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), (5, 6) ,

(6, 1), (6, 2), (6, 3), (6, 4), (6, 5), (6, 6)

Desired outcomes are (3, 6), (4, 5), (4, 6), (5, 4), (5, 5), (5, 6), (6, 3), (6, 4), (6, 5), (6, 6)

Total no.of outcomes are 36 and desired outcomes are 10

Therefore, probability of getting total greater than 8

Conclusion: Probability of getting total greater than 8, when two dice are rolled is
