Find the probability of either doubles are rolled:

\frac{1}{6}

Find the probability of the sum of the dice is 8:

\frac{5}{36}

Find the probability of either doubles are rolled and the sum of the dice is 8:

\frac{1}{36}

Use the Inclusion-Exclusion formula

P (X \lor Y) = P (X) + P (Y) - P (X \land Y)

= \frac{1}{6} + \frac{5}{36} - \frac{1}{36}

\frac{1}{6} + \frac{5}{36} - \frac{1}{36} = \frac{5}{18}

= \frac{5}{18}
