Hey katie, not to be rude or anything but are you even attempting these questions? :\

OpenStudy (anonymous):

what are you trying to say

OpenStudy (anonymous):

I think its A am I right?

OpenStudy (jtvatsim):

how did you get your answer? I'm not saying it's right or wrong.

OpenStudy (jtvatsim):

Just curious to see how you thought through the question. :)

OpenStudy (anonymous):

because a coin has 2 sides which are heads and tails and and 2 is divisible by 2

OpenStudy (jtvatsim):

Ah... I see what you did there. That's good, but I think they want you to look at the numbers like 1 thru 6.

OpenStudy (anonymous):

oh ok

OpenStudy (jtvatsim):

Note that they say: "How many possible outcomes have a **number** divisible by 2?"

OpenStudy (anonymous):

is it 3 then

OpenStudy (jtvatsim):

right, nice work!
