A standard six-sided die is rolled twice.  What is the probability that the product of the rolls is 8?     

 

How many combinations make 8?  2, 4 and 4, 2             2     

How many combinations could there have been?         36     

 

The probability of the product being one of the     

two combinations that produces a product of 8 . . . . 2 / 36     

 

                                                                 reduces to 1 / 18  or  5.56%
