B 4/9
C 5/12
D 1/2

Respuesta :

Answer:

The correct option is A

Step-by-step explanation:

Explanation for the correct answer:

Two dice are rolled.

The total number of outcomes in sample space

are given as

The numbers on the faces of the dice are

The possible scenarios where the sum of the digits is less than or equal to eight is with the combination of

Hence the ordered pairs with the combination of these digits are

Number of ordered pairs

Hence the

Hence, the probability of the sum of the digits appearing on the faces of the dice less than or equal to eight is

.

Hence, option A

is the correct answer
