Question

A dice is thrown two times. The sum of numbers appearing on the dice can be ________ outcomes.

Answer 1

1 as it is sure event...

Answer 2

There will be 11 possible sum outcomes.

Step-by-step explanation:

When a dice is thrown one time then there are 6 possible outcomes which are 1, 2, 3, 4, 5, and 6.

Now, when the dice is thrown again there will again be six possible outcomes, that are 1, 2, 3, 4, 5, and 6.

So, when the dice is thrown two times, then the pair of outcomes will be of 6 × 6 = 36 types.

They are (1, 1), (1, 2), (1, 3), (1, 4), (1, 5), (1, 6), (2, 1), (2, 2), and so on.

If we consider the sum of numbers appearing on the dice thrown twice then the minimum number that will be the outcome will be 2(1 + 1) and the maximum number that will be the outcome will be 12(6 + 6).

So, there will be 11 possible sum outcomes. (Answer)
