Answer:

A. The number of actual outcomes is 6 (since there are 6 sides to the block).

B. The number of all possible outcomes would be the number of ways the block could land on the table, which is also 6 (since each of the 6 sides is equally likely to face up).

C. The probability that the block will land with either the T, C or R facing up is the probability of landing on any one of those 3 sides. Since there are 3 such sides, and each side is equally likely to face up, the probability is 3/6 or 1/2.
