A dice is thrown two times and sum of the numbers appearing on the dice are noted. The number of possible outcomes is
(a) 6
(b) 11
(c) 18
(d) 36

Solution:

Given a dice is thrown twice,

Each die has 6 faces so, twice Rolling gives 36

Sample space of getting sum is given as the minimum sum we can get is 2(1 on first time and 1 on second time)

And the maximum sum we get is 12 (6 on first time and 6 on second time)

getting sum is given as 2,3,4…...12

The number of possible outcomes are 11.

✦ Try This: Two dice are thrown at once and sum of the numbers appearing on the dice are noted. The number of possible outcomes is (a) 6, (b) 11, (c) 18, (d) 36

Given two dice are thrown at once ,

Each die has 6 faces so, twice Rolling gives 36

Sample space is 6×6 = 36
