Best Answer

We assume the faces are marked with the numbers ' 1 ' through ' 8 '.

Total number of possible outcomes = 8

Number of successful outcomes = 3

If the top is balanced, honest, and random, then . . .

Probability of a successful outcome = (3/8) = 37.5 percent.

Odds = 5 to 3 against it.
