Question

A number cube is rolled twice. Find the probability of rolling a 2 and then rolling a 3. Write your answer as a fraction in simplest form.​

Answer 1

1/36

Explanation:

To find the probability of rolling a 2 AND a 3, you must multiply the probabilities of each individual outcome.

The probability of rolling a 2 on a 6 sided cube is 1/6.

The probability of rolling a 3 on a 6 sided cube is also 1/6.

So, to get the probability of both of those things happening:

(1/6) x (1/6) = 1/36
