Question

Two number cubes are rolled.


What is the probability that the first lands on 2 and the second lands on a number greater than 4?




Enter you answer, as a fraction in simplified form, in the box.

Answer 1

Answer:

1/18

Step-by-step explanation:

Assuming the die are regular 1,2,3,4,5,6

P(2) = number of 2's/ total numbers on die

      = 1/6

Roll again

Assuming the die are regular 1,2,3,4,5,6

P (numbers greater than 4) = {5,6}/total numbers on die

                                               =2/6 = 1/3

P (2, then  number greater than 4) = 1/6 * 1/3 = 1/18

Answer 2

Answer:

1/18

Step-by-step explanation:

P(2) = 1/6

Greater than 4: 5,6

P(>4) = 2/6 = 1/3

1/6 × 1/3 = 1/18
