Step 1
The sample space is 6×6=36
The first die has 6 possible outcomes, as does the second.
Since these events are independent from each other, you must multiply the possibilities of the two events.
Or:
You can write out all possibilities, from 11, 12, 13... all the way up to ..65 and 66
Remember that 14 is NOT the same as 41, and you will also find 36 posibilities
Extra:
Example: if you want to calculate the probability of rolling a total of 5, this can be done in the following ways:
14,23,32,424 ways
Probability is then favourabletotal=436=1911%
