n(S)=36n(S)=36 throughout.

a) Sum =5=5: (1,4),(2,3),(3,2),(4,1)(1,4),(2,3),(3,2),(4,1), 4 outcomes, P=4/36=1/9P=4/36=1/9.

b) Sum ≥8\ge8: sums 8,9,10,11,12 give 5+4+3+2+1=15 outcomes, P=15/36=5/12P=15/36=5/12.

c) First throw a multiple of 2 (2,4,6: 3 choices), second throw a multiple of 3 (3,6: 2 choices): 3×2=63\times2=6 outcomes, P=6/36=1/6P=6/36=1/6. …
