Answer:

The number of possible outcomes on rolling a cube twice is:

36

Explanation:

The possible number of outcomes of an experiment are the number of elements in the sample space.

The sample space of rolling a cube twice is given as:

(1,1) (1,2) (1,3) (1,4) (1,5) (1,6)

(2,1) (2,2) (2,3) (2,4) (2,5) (2,6)

(3,1) (3,2) (3,3) (3,4) (3,5) (3,6)

(4,1) (4,2) (4,3) (4,4) (4,5) (4,6)

(5,1) (5,2) (5,3) (5,4) (5,5) (5,6)

(6,1) (6,2) (6,3) (6,4) (6,5) (6,6)

Hence, there are 36 elements in the sample space.

Hence, the number of possible outcomes on rolling a cube twice is:

36
