Question

List your values from smallest to largest.

Normally we would put commas when making a list but do not this for the question. Put a single space. Example: instead of

1, 2 we write 1 2

Answer 1

The possible outcomes for the sum of two 6-sided dice range from 2 (1+1) to 12 (6+6). The even sums in this range are:

2, 4, 6, 8, 10, 12.

So the sample space of the even values for the sum of two 6-sided dice is:

2 4 6 8 10 12
