Question

Determine whether the event is impossible, unlikely, as likely as not, likely, or certain. You roll two number cubes and get a sum of 17. ,Likely , Certain , Unlikely ,Impossible ,as likely as not

Answer 1

The event is impossible

Here, we want to determine the possibility

In a number cube, we have 6 faces

The numbers are 1,2,3,4,5 and 6

At the maximum, we will have the two number cubes showing up 6

Thus, the highest sum we can have is 6 + 6 which is 12

That means the possibility of getting the sum 17 does not exist
