Question:
Assume I have an imaginary, fair, eight-sided die, with faces numbered 1-8, and assume that rolls and outcomes are independent. What would be the probability of getting:
a. an 8 in one roll of a die?
b. a 1 or an 8 in one roll?
c. a 1 and an 8 in two rolls?
d. a 2 and a 3 and a 4 in three die rolls?
e. a 1 or an 8 in two rolls?
Probability:
The plausibility or the expectations that a specified event will happen is given by probability. It is used to get the numerical value of the degree of uncertainty of the events. The independent events are those that cannot appear together in any case. The probability that events co-occur is given by the multiplication rule.

Given Information
- Number of faces = 8
Since the die is fair, the probability of occurrence is same for every face which is {eq}\dfrac{1}{8}{/eq}.
