Answer 1

Answer:

4 outcomes

Step-by-step explanation:

Two 6-sided dice are rolled at the same time.

Possible outcomes are

(1,1)    (1,2)  (1,3)   (1,4)   (1,5)   (1,6)

(2,1)  (2,2)  (2,3)  (2,4)  (2,5)  (2,6)

(3,1)  (3,2)  (3,3)  (3,4)  (3,5)  (3,6)

(4,1)  (4,2)  (4,3)  (4,4)  (4,5)  (4,6)

(5,1)  (5,2)  (5,3)  (5,4)  (5,5)  (5,6)

(6,1)  (6,2)  (6,3)  (6,4)  (6,5)  (6,6)

we look at the pairs that has sum 5

1+4 = 5

2+3= 5

3+2=5

4+1= 5

The outcomes that has sum 5 are (1,4) (2,3)(3,2) and (4,1)

so 4 possible outcomes that has sum 5

Answer 2

4 outcomes
1,4
2,3
3,2
4,1

Hope this helps.
