the first roll must be anything except a 1 .. odds = 5/6
the second roll must be one specific number that adds up to 8
so its odds are = 1/6
SO . . the total odds are 5/6 * 1/6 = 5/36 = about a 14% chance.
Another way to look at it is this:
there are only 5-combinatiosn that make 8 = 2/6, 3/5, 4/4, 5/3, 6/2
and there are 36 possible combinations . . .
so, again .. the odds are 5- out of 36 rolls.

What is the probability of getting a 2 with one roll of the dice?
1 out of 6 times,or 16.67% probability.
What is the probability of not getting a consecutive 2 when the dice is roll 5 times?
It is 0.9034, approx.
If 11 is the sum and you roll two dice what is the probability of getting 11 if you toss the dice 54 times?
The probability of getting 11 with one throw of 2 dice is 1/6*1/6*2 = 1/18 So the probability of not getting 11 with 1 throw of the dice is 17/18. Tossing the dice 54 times, the probability of not getting 11 54 times is (17/18)54 = 0.0456... So the probability of at least 1 roll of 11 is 1 - 0.0456 = 0.954
What is the probability of getting a sum greater than 5 if you roll 2 dice?
The probability is 26/36 = 13/18.
Suppose you roll 2 dice. what is the probability that you will roll a 3 or 5?
The probability that you roll a 3 or a 5 on one or both dice is 20/36 = 5/9
What is the probability of rolling 2 dice and getting 2 sixes?
In one roll the probability is 1/36.
What is the probability of getting a 2 with one roll of the dice?
1 out of 6 times,or 16.67% probability.
What is the probability of getting a multiple3 when you roll a dice?
It is 2/6 = 1/3
What is the probability of not getting a consecutive 2 when the dice is roll 5 times?
It is 0.9034, approx.
If 11 is the sum and you roll two dice what is the probability of getting 11 if you toss the dice 54 times?
The probability of getting 11 with one throw of 2 dice is 1/6*1/6*2 = 1/18 So the probability of not getting 11 with 1 throw of the dice is 17/18. Tossing the dice 54 times, the probability of not getting 11 54 times is (17/18)54 = 0.0456... So the probability of at least 1 roll of 11 is 1 - 0.0456 = 0.954
What is the probability of getting a sum greater than 5 if you roll 2 dice?
The probability is 26/36 = 13/18.
If you roll two dice what is the probability of getting an odd number?
The probability of getting an odd number when you roll one die is 1 in 2. In order to get an odd sum with two dice, one of them has to be odd and one of them has to be even. The probability of rolling an odd sum is still 1 in 2, since each die is unrelated in probability to the other.
Suppose you roll 2 dice. what is the probability that you will roll a 3 or 5?
The probability that you roll a 3 or a 5 on one or both dice is 20/36 = 5/9
What is the probability if you roll 1 unfair dice 2 times of getting two fives where the probability of 5 is 0.3?
0.3 * 0.3 = 0.09
What is the probability of rolling the sum of two if you roll a pair of dice sixty times?
The probability of getting a sum of 2 at least once is 0.8155
If you roll 2 dice what is the probability of getting a 2 or 3?
When you roll 2 dice, the number of possible outcomes is 6x6 =36. From these 36 outcomes 3 are a 2 or 3 [(1,1), (1,2), (2,1)]. So the probability of getting a 2 or 3 is: P(2 or 3) = 3/36 = 1/12 = 0.08333... ≈ 8.3%
When you roll two dice what is the probability their sum is 2?
For a single roll of a pair of fair dice, the answer is 1/36.
