Math Problem Statement

what are all the possible answers for rolling 2 dice

Solution

When rolling two six-sided dice, each die has 6 faces, numbered from 1 to 6. The total number of possible outcomes when rolling the two dice is the product of the number of faces on each die:

6×6=36 possible outcomes.6 \times 6 = 36 \text{ possible outcomes.}

These outcomes can be organized as pairs (a,b)(a, b), where aa is the result of the first die, and bb is the result of the second die. Here are all the possible outcomes:

  1. (1, 1)
  2. (1, 2)
  3. (1, 3)
  4. (1, 4)
  5. (1, 5)
  6. (1, 6)
  7. (2, 1)
  8. (2, 2)
  9. (2, 3)
  10. (2, 4)
  11. (2, 5)
  12. (2, 6)
  13. (3, 1)
  14. (3, 2)
  15. (3, 3)
  16. (3, 4)
  17. (3, 5)
  18. (3, 6)
  19. (4, 1)
  20. (4, 2)
  21. (4, 3)
  22. (4, 4)
  23. (4, 5)
  24. (4, 6)
  25. (5, 1)
  26. (5, 2)
  27. (5, 3)
  28. (5, 4)
  29. (5, 5)
  30. (5, 6)
  31. (6, 1)
  32. (6, 2)
  33. (6, 3)
  34. (6, 4)
  35. (6, 5)
  36. (6, 6)

Summary:

There are 36 possible outcomes when rolling two six-sided dice.

  8. How would the outcomes change if one die had more than 6 faces?

Tip: For probability questions involving dice, it's helpful to visualize the possible outcomes using a grid or table to count occurrences easily.
