Assume that you are rolling two dice.
In how many ways can you roll a sum less than 4?
Would the answer be 8 ways?
1, 1
1, 2
2, 1
I only see three ways.
Oh, I see what you mean. I was thinking about multiplication.
Thank you
You're welcome.
To find the number of ways you can roll a sum less than 4 with two dice, we can list all the possible outcomes.
First, let's identify the possible outcomes for each die. A standard die has six faces, numbered 1 to 6. Therefore, the possible outcomes for each die are:
Die 1: {1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6}
Die 2: {1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6}
To find the sum of the two dice, we add the outcomes for each die. Now, let's find the sums less than 4:
1 + 1 = 2
1 + 2 = 3
2 + 1 = 3
There are only three combinations that result in a sum less than 4. Therefore, the correct answer is not 8, but 3 ways to roll a sum less than 4.
