14.48. Which sum of the numbers rolled is more likely when throwing two dice: 9 or $10?$
14.48. A n s w e r: 9. The numbers 9 and 10 can be obtained in two different ways: $9=3+6=4+5$ and $10=4+6=5+5$. However, we need to consider the order in which the numbers fall on the dice. Therefore, the number 9 can be obtained in four different ways, while the number 10 can only be obtained in three: $9=3+6=6+3=4+5=5+4,10=4+6=6+4=5+5$.
