Let us assume that the cubes are numbered from 1 to 6 in their six faces.



When these two cubes are rolled, the possible values could be,



(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)



Total possibilities are 36.



Now the sum of the numbers are either 4 or 10. Those numbers are



(1,3) (2,2) (3,1) -> this sums to 6



(4,6) (5,5) (6,4) -> this sums to 8



Total possibilities of getting sum 4 or 10 is 6.



So, the possibility of getting sum of or from a pair of rolled cubes is



6/36 = 1/6

There were a finite number of tickets to the game, as the stadium could only hold 20,000 people. Which word is closest in meanin
irinina [24]
There is no word underlined but I'm guessing finite is the one being discussed. if that is the case then the word that's closest is limited. To say that there were a finite number of tickets is the same as saying there were a limited number of tickets.

What does “its like everyone tells a story about themselves inside their own head” means
valina [46]
I feel as if this is something you personally think about it. In my opinion, as a person everyone creates a story based on what they KNOW about them selves, you ask yourself a question and you answer within .5 seconds because you already have answers about yourself. In your head you build up a story because of all the facts you already know
