Q1: You can have a die and many dice, but what is "a dice"?
Q2: A 9-sided die cannot be a regular polyhedron. With an irregular polyhedron some outcomes are more likely than others. What is the shape?
Q3: Since there are 2606 different (non-isomorphic) 9-sided dice possible and each one will have a different probability distribution, how will you determine the probability distribution function for the faces on your die?
Q4: What are the numbers on the faces? Are they 1-9 or some other set, such as for a doubling die in backgammon?
Once you have got your answers to the above you can start thinking about the probability distribution function for the different numbers on the die. Then you can look at questions regarding multiple rolls.

There are 36 different ways to roll 2 6-sided dice. The ones that make 9 are: 3+6 , 4+5 , 5+4 , 6+3 4 out of 36 = 4/36 = 0,111111111 = 11,1 %
It is 5/18.
If zero is the number on one of the 9 sides, then the probability is 8/9 = 88.9% (rounded)If zero is not the number on any one of the 9 sides, then the probability is 100%.
The first thing to do is isolate how many ways there are to get 8 from two dice. These possibilities are:2,63,54,45,36,2so there are 5 possibilities. The probability of each of these combinations is (1/6)2 or 1/36, so the probability of getting 8 in one throw of 2 dice is 5/36For 9 throws, it is easier to calculate the probability of never getting 8. This is (1-probability of getting 8)9. (1-5/36)9 = (31/36)9 which is 0.26033. So the probability of getting an 8 somewhere along the line is 1-0.26033 or 0.7397
A 2d nine sided shape is called a nonagon.
