Two dice are rolled. Find the probability of getting a sum greater than 8

Is it 0, 13/36, 2/9, 5/18.

Can you tell me how to work this out?

Thank you, Ellen

• ans is 2/9
  total way n(s)=1/6*1/6=1/36
  n(E)=8(8way find no is greater than 8 ie 66,55,65,56,64,46,63,36)
  P(E)=N(E)/n(S)
  =8*(1/36)
  =2/9(ANS)
