(N/A) $(i)$ When two dice are thrown,the total number of possible outcomes is $6 \times 6 = 36$. The sums and their corresponding probabilities are calculated as follows:
- Sum $= 2$: $(1,1) \rightarrow \frac{1}{36}$
- Sum $= 3$: $(1,2), (2,1) \rightarrow \frac{2}{36}$
- Sum $= 4$: $(1,3), (3,1), (2,2) \rightarrow \frac{3}{36}$
- Sum $= 5$: $(1,4), (4,1), (2,3), (3,2) \rightarrow \frac{4}{36}$
- Sum $= 6$: $(1,5), (5,1), (2,4), (4,2), (3,3) \rightarrow \frac{5}{36}$
- Sum $= 7$: $(1,6), (6,1), (2,5), (5,2), (3,4), (4,3) \rightarrow \frac{6}{36}$
- Sum $= 8$: $(2,6), (6,2), (3,5), (5,3), (4,4) \rightarrow \frac{5}{36}$
- Sum $= 9$: $(3,6), (6,3), (4,5), (5,4) \rightarrow \frac{4}{36}$
- Sum $= 10$: $(4,6), (6,4), (5,5) \rightarrow \frac{3}{36}$
- Sum $= 11$: $(5,6), (6,5) \rightarrow \frac{2}{36}$
- Sum $= 12$: $(6,6) \rightarrow \frac{1}{36}$
$(ii)$ No,$I$ do not agree with the student. The outcomes $2, 3, \dots, 12$ are not equally likely because the number of ways to obtain each sum varies. For example,there is only $1$ way to get a sum of $2$,but $6$ ways to get a sum of $7$.
