Question

You roll a six-sided die twice. What is the probability of rolling a 2 and then a 6?A.1 / 3B.1/6C.1/36D.1/12

Answer 1

Answer:

C. 1/36

Explanation:

The probability of rolling a 2 in a six-sided die is 1/6 because there are 6 possible outcomes and 1 of them is 2. In the same way, the probability of rolling a 6 is also 1/6 because there are 6 possible outcomes and 1 of them is 6.

Then, the probability of rolling a 2 and then a 6 can be calculated as:

$P=\frac{1}{6}\times\frac{1}{6}=\frac{1}{36}$

Because they are independent events and each one has a probability of 1/6.

Therefore, the answer is:

C. 1/36
