Question

Three distinct, five-sided dice are rolled, and the numbers showing are recorded. How many different outcomes are possible

Answer 1

Explanation:

Each die can show one of the five possible numbers. So, the number of possible outcomes for rolling one die is 5.

Since there are three dice being rolled, the total number of possible outcomes is the product of the number of possible outcomes for each die. That is:

Number of possible outcomes = 5 x 5 x 5 = 125

Therefore, there are 125 different outcomes possible when rolling three distinct, five-sided dice.
