Question 328057: 5. Consider two identical six sided dice with from one to six dots on each side with no two sides containing the same number of dots.
a. How many possible outcomes (sum of dots) are there if you throw the two dice on the board?
b. If you throw both dice on a table what are the chances that the sum of the dots on the two dice will be equal to 6?
c. same as in (b) but for the sum of 7?

.
b) You can list all of the possible outcomes and their sums, or just list the ones that sum to 6.
(1 5)(2 4)(3 3)(4 2)(5 1)=5 outcomes.
P(sum of 6)=5/36

c)(1 6)(2 5)(3 4)(4 3)(5 2)(6 1)
P(sum of 7)=6/36=1/6
