what is the size of the sample spaces for all the outcomes possible from rolling 6 dice?

OpenStudy (anonymous):

36 if you include the order

OpenStudy (anonymous):

11 if not

OpenStudy (anonymous):

how did you get that?

OpenStudy (anonymous):

well, you can roll any of 6 on roll 1, and any of 6 on roll 2 so that's 6 x 6 for part 1

OpenStudy (anonymous):

sum of dice can be any from 2..12, that's 11 for part 2

OpenStudy (valpey):

"rolling 6 dice" is appreciably different from adding up the sum of six dice.

OpenStudy (anonymous):

oops

OpenStudy (anonymous):

OK, start over, sorry.

OpenStudy (anonymous):

you guys are confusing mee!!!!

OpenStudy (anonymous):

lol plz

OpenStudy (valpey):

But I would say that rolling {1,2,2,4,5,5} is the same as rolling {5,4,2,1,2,5}

OpenStudy (anonymous):

im lost :(

OpenStudy (anonymous):

sample size is 6

OpenStudy (anonymous):

how did you get that @myko

OpenStudy (valpey):

So you can always arrange the six dice in order from lowest to highest, say, and then count all the possible sets of rolls from: {1,1,1,1,1,1} {1,1,1,1,1,2} {1,1,1,1,1,3} {1,1,1,1,1,4} {1,1,1,1,1,5} {1,1,1,1,1,6} .... {1,2,3,4,4,5} {1,2,3,4,4,6} {1,2,3,4,5,5} ... {5,6,6,6,6,6} {6,6,6,6,6,6}

OpenStudy (anonymous):

ok?

OpenStudy (anonymous):

Sry previous answer got cut. Sample space size is nummber of possible outcomes of an event. So: 6*6*6*6*6*6=6^6 if you count (1,2,3,4,5,6) and (6,5,4,3,2,1) as different outcomes.

OpenStudy (anonymous):

okkkk

OpenStudy (anonymous):

so im suppose to multiply 6*6

OpenStudy (anonymous):

6^6

OpenStudy (anonymous):

rolling dice 6 times

OpenStudy (anonymous):

which is 36?

OpenStudy (anonymous):

@myko ?

OpenStudy (valpey):

\[\large 6^6\]is much bigger than\[\large 6*6\]

OpenStudy (anonymous):

\[6^{6}\]

OpenStudy (anonymous):

so my answer is 6^6?

OpenStudy (anonymous):

yes

OpenStudy (anonymous):

kinda confusing lol but ok

OpenStudy (anonymous):

|dw:1344982906614:dw| imagine like when you throw a dice you write the result in the table, till complete the 6 cels. So how many different numbers of 6 digits could you get?
