Oliver rolls a fair six-sided dice and spins a fair three-sided spinner with equal-sized sections labelled 1,4 and 8. He adds the results together. What is the probability that the total he scores is greater than 8? Give your answer as a fraction in its simplest form.
Setup the sample space
Notice only 1 result out of the 18 events in the sample space is greater than 8.
P(Sum > 8) = 1/18
