Two 6-sided dice are rolled at the same time. How many outcomes correspond to the event that the sum of the numbers is 5?

OpenStudy (mathstudent55):

When you roll one die, what outcomes can you have?

OpenStudy (anonymous):

6

OpenStudy (mathstudent55):

The total is 6. The different outcomes are: 1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6

OpenStudy (shikamaru11):

well one dice has 6 sides so numbered from 1-6 so the outcome is from 1-6??? isn't it

OpenStudy (mathstudent55):

When you roll 2 dice, each of the two dice can have those 6 outcomes. That means the total number of outcomes of rolling two dice is 6 * 6 = 36.

We can write a table showing all the combinations of outcomes. |dw:1444312559555:dw|
