Question

When you roll two number cubes, what are the odds in simplest form against getting two numbers greater than 3?

A. 4:1
B. 1:4
C. 3:1
D. 1:3

Answer 1

1:3.

Explanation:

Probability(getting > 3 on one roll) = 3/6 = 1/2.

So on 2 cubes rolled the probability of getting > 3 is 1/2 * 1/2 = 1/4.

As a ratio this is 1:3.
