For questions 1-5, we roll a pair of fair dice: a red one and a white one. It's important that we can tell these dice apart. So getting a 1 on the red die and 2 on the white die is different than getting a 2 on the red die and 1 on the white die.
1. How many outcomes are in the sample space?
a. 6
b. 11
c. 12
d. 24
d. 36
2. Find P(3 on the red die and 4 on the white die).
a. \(\frac{1}{6}\)
b. \(\frac{1}{11}\)
c. \(\frac{1}{12}\)
d. \(\frac{1}{24}\)
d. \(\frac{1}{36}\)
3. Find P(the same number is showing on both dice).
4. Find P(you get a total of 12).
5. What is the most likely total of the two dice?
b. 7
c. 8
d. 12
d. All totals are equally likely.
