if you throw 2 dice 8 times, what is the probability that you will get at least one (1,1), that is, that you will roll "snake-eyes" at least one time?

SUMMARY
The probability of rolling "snake-eyes" (1,1) at least once in 8 throws of 2 dice is calculated using complementary probability. The probability of not rolling "snake-eyes" in a single throw is 35/36. Therefore, the probability of not rolling "snake-eyes" in 8 consecutive throws is (35/36)^8, which equals approximately 0.835. Consequently, the probability of rolling "snake-eyes" at least once in 8 throws is 1 - (35/36)^8, resulting in approximately 0.165 or 16.5%.
