Question: two dice are thrown together find the probability that the product of the number on the dice is 8?
Answer: As there are only 2 dice and you wish to find the probability of getting an 8 from 1 throw say. Proceed as follows: form a 6 by 6 grid with 1 to 6 along the bottom and 1 to 6 vertically. ... Now divide by the number of squares and so the probability is therefore 5/36.
