You can put this solution on YOUR website! Given a regular die (6 sides),
a. How many possible outcomes are there?:::6*6 = 36
--------
b. list the possible outcomes.:::Sketch a 6 by 6 square.
Label the rows 1,2,3,4,5,6; Label the columns 1,2,3,4,5,6
Fill in the square with the sum of each row and column label
---------
c. Assuming this is a fair die ( all have the same probability), what is the probability of tossing a 5?
To get a sum of 5: 1/4 ; 2/3 ; 3/2 ; 4/1
Probability: 4/36 = 1/9
