Question

You roll a number cube. Find P(5, then 4, then 6)

Answer 1

To roll a 5 that probability is 1/6. The same probability for 4 and 6. So multiply 1/6 times 1/6 times 1/6 you get the probability which is 1/216. Hope this helps

Answer 2

There is a 1/6 chance of rolling a 5, a 1/6 chance of rolling a 4, and a 1/6 chance of rolling a 6. All three numbers have to be rolled in a row for the criterion to be met.

To find the probability of rolling these three numbers specifically in a row, we must multiply the individual probabilities together:


`(1)/(6) * (1)/(6) * (1)/(6) = (1)/(216)`

The probability of rolling a 5, then a 4, then a 6, is 1/216, or one in two hundred and sixteen times.
