Solution Summary

This solution shows how to calculate the desired probability when rolling an 8 sided die, numbered 1-8.

Solution Preview

The possible outcomes when you roll an eight sided die are the numbers 1 through 8. These are sometimes called the "simple events". Each of these simple events is equally likely. That means the probability of each of the eight possible simple ...
