To get a sum of five, you need
14 , 23, 32, or 41
so there are 4 out of the 36 possible outcomes
4/36 = 1/9

analysis:
create a chart with 6 colums and 6 rows, numbering them from 1-6
fill in the sum of row and column
note the sum of 5 results, there are 4 of them out of the total of 36 possible sums

Thanks this makes sense!!!

The answer is c. 2/9

this is to hard for my brain.

The answer is ccccccccc

B thats what the guy reiny said

All answers for the Compound Probability Unit Test for Connections:

1: There are 16 possible outcomes, all outcomes are equally likely
2: 2/9
3: 2/3
4: extended response
5: extended response
6: tossing five coins, spinning a spinner with 2 equal parts 5 times
7: extended response
8: a fair coin flipped three times, a spinner with two equal sections spun three times
9: flipping a coin 4 times
10: roll a six-sided number cube two times
11: a spinner with 4 equal sections
12: extended response

Its 2/9
