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%
