# Sum on dice

We have two dice. What is the greater likelihood of fall a total sum 7 or 8 ? (write 7, 8 or 0 if the probabilities are the same)?

Result

x =  7

#### Solution:

$7=1+6=2+5=3+4=4+3=5+2=6+1 \ \\ 8=2+6=3+5=4+4=5+3=6+2 \ \\ p_{1}>p_{2} \ \\ x=7$

Our examples were largely sent or created by pupils and students themselves. Therefore, we would be pleased if you could send us any errors you found, spelling mistakes, or rephasing the example. Thank you!

Leave us a comment of this math problem and its solution (i.e. if it is still somewhat unclear...):

Math student
7=1+6=2+5=3+4=4+3=5+2=6+1
8=2+6=3+5=4+4=5+3=6+2
p1>p2
x=7

Dr Math
hmmm, so we have 8 = 4+4 = 4+4 (thus one less variation than 7)
