Question

You roll a die and pick a marble.
​
​How many outcomes are possible?
​

Answer 1

If you roll a die, there are 6 possible outcomes (1, 2, 3, 4, 5, or 6).

If you pick a marble, the number of outcomes would depend on the number of marbles you have. Let's assume you have n marbles, then there would be n possible outcomes when picking a marble.

So, the total number of outcomes when you roll a die and pick a marble would be 6 * n.

Explanation:

Answer 2

12 because for each number on the die, you get 2 options: one marble or the other. So if it’s a six sided die, you have 12 possible outcomes. (2 times 6)
