Question

Aaron has 2 six-sided number cubes. If Aaron rolls both of the number cubes at once, how many possible outcomes are in the sample space?

Answer 1

Answer: 36 possible outcomes

Explanation:

Each number cube has six possible outcomes: 1, 2, 3, 4, 5, or 6. When Aaron rolls both cubes at once, the total number of outcomes is the product of the number of outcomes on each cube.

• 6 × 6 = 36

So, there are 36 possible outcomes in the sample space when Aaron rolls both number cubes at once.

Answer 2

One die has 6 possible outcomes, so 6^2 would be equal to 36.
