4 dice are rolled. What is the possible outcome for each event?
Confused!!! Would you get an outcome of 4/6 or 2/3
Please HELP me!!
What outcome?
I don't know, the question said 4 dice are rolled. I need to find the possible outcome for that question.
My answer is 4 over 6 or 4/6 reduce to 2/3. Please let me know if this is correct or not.
I'm stuck! Please help me with this problem. Thank you.
To determine the possible outcomes for each event when rolling 4 dice, we need to first understand what is meant by "event" in this context. An event refers to a specific condition or result that we are interested in observing.
In this case, let's assume that the event we are interested in is the sum of the numbers rolled on the four dice. To calculate the possible outcomes for this event, we need to consider all the different combinations of numbers that can appear on the dice.
When rolling a single six-sided die, the possible outcomes are numbers 1 through 6. Since we are rolling four dice, we can calculate the total number of possible outcomes by multiplying the number of outcomes for each die together.
So, the total number of possible outcomes for four dice is 6 × 6 × 6 × 6 = 1296.
However, if you are specifically asking about the possible outcomes that will result in a sum of 4 or 6, we need to determine how many different combinations of numbers on the dice can give us those sums.
For a sum of 4, the possible combinations are: (1,1,1,1), (2,1,1), (1,2,1), (1,1,2), (1,3), (3,1), (2,2).
For a sum of 6, the possible combinations are: (1,1,1,3), (1,1,3,1), (1,3,1,1), (3,1,1,1), (1,2,2), (2,1,2), (2,2,1), (3,3), (2,4), (4,2), (1,5), (5,1).
Therefore, there are 7 possible outcomes that result in a sum of 4 and 12 possible outcomes that result in a sum of 6.
To answer your question, the correct outcome is 7/1296 for a sum of 4 and 12/1296 for a sum of 6.
I hope this clarifies things for you. If you have any further questions, feel free to ask!
