Two number cubes each have sides labeled 1 to 6. Ann rolls both number cubes. On the first roll, the sum of the numbers was equal to 8. On the second roll, the sum of the numbers was equal to 6. Is one of these sums more likely to occur?
The table shows the possible sums of rolling the two dies. There are 5 combinations for both the sum of 6 and 8. Therefore, neither 6 nor 8 are more likely to occur.
