There are 36 outcomes from tossing a pair of dice: (1,1) (1,2) (1,3) (1,4) (1,5) (1,6) (2,1) (2,2) (2,3) (2,4) (2,5) (2,6) (3,1) (3,2) (3,3) (3,4) (3,5) (3,6) (4,1) (4,2) (4,3) (4,4) (4,5) (4,6) (5,1) (5,2) (5,3) (5,4) (5,5) (5,6) (6,1) (6,2) (6,3) (6,4) (6,5) (6,6)

yes that is true but would this be an unfair game because you will lose if you roll an even number

Directrix (directrix):

Did you count the number of outcomes that summed to an even number and the number of outcomes that sum to an odd? If the game is fair, then those number of ways should be equal, I think.

i did and u have more chances to lose than win....

Directrix (directrix):

How many odd sums and how many even sums did you get when you counted?

Directrix (directrix):

b) its an unfair game

OpenStudy (anonymous):

thank u!!! i agree with u

OpenStudy (mertsj):

The number of odd outcomes is equal to the number of even outcomes. It is a fair game.
