Answer 1

@monroe17 If I roll a die, how many possible outcomes are there?

Answer 2

6?

Answer 3

what does sample space mean?

Answer 4

Yeah you're right, it's 6
Sample Space= all possible outcomes

Answer 5

Sample space refers to the list of all the possible outcomes of an experiment/event.

Answer 6

So what do you think will be the no. of events if we roll two dices?

Answer 7

oh gotcha! Thank you guys!

Answer 8

12

Answer 9

For eg. when you roll a dice, you can get a 1,2,3,4,5 or a 6, which is the sample space. so, 6 possible outcomes, hence 6 is the outcomes in the sample space.

Answer 10

If I get 1 on one dice, the second can have 6 possible outcomes, do you think that 12 is the no. of outcomes?

Answer 11

Wait im confused.. whats the question?

Answer 12

(2, 1) , (2, 2)...... (2, 6)

(6,1 ) (6, 2)...........(6, 6)

Answer 14

Yeah, I got that. so 36?

Answer 15

Yeah:)

Answer 16

when you are rolling two dice,

you can have, 1 on one dice, and 1,2,3,4,5,6 on the other. similarly two on the first's gace and 6 possibilities on the other, and so on.. so
6*6 = 36

You're righty-right!! :P
