Question

Consider rolling two number cubes, each of which has its faces numbered

from 1 to 6. The cubes will be rolled and the sum of the numbers landing
face up will be recorded. Let the event E represent the event of rolling a sum
of 5. How many outcomes are in the collection for event E?

Answer 1

4

Explanation:

I did it on college board

Answer 2

Answer: 4 outcomes

Explanation:

For two number cubes, the total possible outcomes are:

6 events for the first and 6 events for the second, then the total number of combinations is 6*6 = 36

If the dice are different, the possible outcomes are:

Dice 1 = 3, Dice 2 = 2

Dice 1 = 2, Dice 2 = 3

Dice 1 = 4, Dice 2 = 1

Dice 1 = 1, Dice 2 = 4

Then we have 4 outcomes in the collection for event E.
