Two fair dice are rolled. The probability that the sum of the numbers on the faces shown is 8 is
The possible outcomes that the sum of the numbers on the faces is 8 are (6,2), (2,6), (3,5), (5,3), (4,4).
Number of possible outcomes = 5
Total number of outcomes = 36
$$\therefore\ $$Required probability = $$\frac{5}{36}$$
Hence, the correct answer is Option A
