Option (A) is correct. We know that a dice has 6 faces and 6 numbers so the total number of cases (outcomes) = 6 # 6 = 36 And total ways in which sum of the numbers on the dices is eight, (2, 6) (3, 5) (4, 4) (5, 3) (6, 2) So, the probability that the sum of the numbers eight is, p = 5 36 Option (D) is correct. We have to draw the graph on x -y axis from the given functions.
