Assuming fair dice,
each of the pair has an equal chance of landing on any of their six faces.
These events should occur independently, so there are 36 total possibilities of equal probability.
That is, each possibility has a probability 1/36.
An 8 can be made with the possibilities (2,6), (3,5), (4,4), (5,3), (6,2).
Any of these possibilities will work so we want the probability that any of them will occur.
This can be calculated by adding their probabilities since they are mutually exclusive events.
There are 5 of them, each with probability 1/36. So the probability of rolling an 8 is therefore
5/36

If you roll a fair six sided number cube what is the probability of rolling an eight?
Assuming that the die is a regular 1 - 6 die, there is zero chance of you throwing an eight with a single six-sided die.
What is the probability of rolling a seven on a pair of six-sided number cubes?
1/6 or 16.66.. %
What is the probability of rolling a 5 on a 6 sided dice?
There is always a 1 in 6 chance of rolling ANY number on a six-sided dice, as there are 6 numbers.
When rolling two six sided number cubes the probability that on one roll you get at least a nine?
It is 5/18.
What are the chances of rolling an even number on a six sided dice?
there is exactly a 50% chance.
What is the probability of rolling a 4 or 5 on a six sided cube?
The chance of rolling a certain number on a dice is 1/6, so the chance of rolling a 4 OR 5is 2/6. But if you have two dice you have the most chance of rolling a seven (6/36 or 1/6)
What is the probability of rolling an even number on an eight-sided die?
Assuming that there are an equal number of even and odd faces on the eight-sided die, then the probability of rolling an even number is simply 4 in 8, or 1 in 2, or 0.5.
What is the theoretical probability of rolling a 1 and a prime number on two six-sided number cubes?
The probability is 6/36 or 1/6
If you roll a fair six sided number cube. What is the probability of rolling and eight?
The probability is 0.
If you roll a pair of six sided number cubes what is the probability of rolling two numbers whose sum is 6?
If you roll a pair of six sided number cubes the probability of rolling two numbers whose sum is 6 is 5/36 or 0.1389. There are 5 ways to get 6: 1,5 & 5,1 & 4,2 & 2,4 & 3,3. There are 36 outcomes for a roll of 2 dice.
