Question

Emily tossed a die onto a black and red checkerboard. what is the probability that it will land with a value of 2, on a red square?

(hint: half the squares on a checkerboard are black)

Answer 1

1/2 becuase they are in between i think hope this helps

Answer 2

It is given that half the squares on a checkerboard are black. Therefore, the other half will be red. Thus, the probability of finding a red square on the checkerboard is:
`P(red)=(1)/(2)`

Now, the Probability of a die landing with a value of 2 is:

`P(2)=(1)/(6)`

Therefore, the probability of the event that the die face is a 2 and lands on the red square is:

`P(red)* P(2)=(1)/(2)* (1)/(6) =(1)/(12)`

This can be expressed as percentage as:
`(1)/(12)* 100\approx 8.33`%
