anonymous · Answer

Are the outcomes for one person or are they combined outcomes?

helpsos · Answer

pretty sure there combined

unklerhaukus · Answer

how many rolls are made ?

helpsos · Answer

there are two dice that are rolled once each

unklerhaukus · Answer

i can only see two outcomes,
 either player A get the point or player B get the point

helpsos · Answer

Yeah i agree but I think what It might be saying is how many outcomes are there combined of both player A and B

helpsos · Answer

oh wait i think i might have the answer could someone check it though? I think its 12

unklerhaukus · Answer

how?

helpsos · Answer

No its wrong...12 doesn't even make sense :( any ways I think this Question is just messed up

unklerhaukus · Answer

maybe they just mean the numer of possible dice rolls

helpsos · Answer

yeah may be, I could check and see if that's one of the options

unklerhaukus · Answer

unklerhaukus · Answer

if so, i dont understand the wording of the question

they could have simply asked 

A game involves rolling two dice. What is the number of possible outcomes?

helpsos · Answer

I think so because my friends said so but i didn't want to just copy their answer becuase i didnt understand why the answer was 36.... but now i do :)

helpsos · Answer

i mean it makes so mush sense now becuase of the table

unklerhaukus · Answer

i would have thought that the if you roll a 6 on the first die and a 4 on the second die , the outcome would be the same , as if you rolled a 4 on the first and a 6 on the second , ,

hmmm

helpsos · Answer

I thought the same but my teahcer explained those are two different outcomes.
she said 4, 6 is different that 6, 4

helpsos · Answer

AlsoI ask you a really quick question?

helpsos · Answer

*Could i ask you a really quick question?

unklerhaukus · Answer

ok

helpsos · Answer

Um sorry if this is not quick but could you check if i got the right answer: A game involves spinning a spinner twice. Player A gets a point if the same color is spun twice. How many outcomes would allow player A to get a point? I got 3
