  1. The probable outcomes to get sum 4 are
    (1,3),(2,2),(3,1).
    The number of outcomes=36
    The probaility to get sum 4=3/36=1/12

    The probable outcomes to get sum 8 are
    (2,6),(3,5),(4,4),(5,3),(6,2).
    The number of outcomes=36
    The probaility to get sum 8=5/36

  2. Number of favorable outcomes for getting a sum 4 = 3
    Total number of outcomes =36
    The probability =3/36

    Number of favorable outcomes for getting a sum 8 = 5
    Total number of outcomes =36
    The probability =5/36
