Question

A blue die and a white die are tossed. Find n

Answer 1

Answer: Then the sample space is 36.

Explanation:

n is the number of possible combinations.

Now, as the die are of different colors, the case where:

white = 1 blue = 2, sum = 1+ 2 = 3

white = 2 blue = 1, sum = 2 + 1 = 3

are different.

So the number of possible combinations is:

6 options for the white dice and 6 options for the blue dice, so we have:

6*6 = 36 different combinations.

Then the sample space is 36.
