Question

Two six-sided dice are rolled at the same time and the numbers showing are observed. Find the following.

a. P(sum=8)
(5,2) (2,5)
2/36
Please help me with the steps

Answer 1

Possible ways to get a sum of 8:
2,6 ; 6,2 ; 5,3 ; 3 5, 4,4
there are 5 of these
so P(sum = 8) = 5/36

I don't understand what your (5,2) and (2,5) are supposed to represent.
