Question

A six-sided number cube is rolled twice, which expression can be used to find P(5, then 3).

A. 1/5*1/3
B. 1/6*1/5
C. 5/6*3/6
D. 1/6*1/6

Answer 1

answer choice D

1/6 x 1/6

Explanation:

Answer 2

There six possible outcomes when a six-sided number cube is rolled. Hence, if we want a 5 as an outcome, the probability of that happening is 1/6.

For the next time it gets rolled, following the same logic, the probability of having 3 as an outcome is 1/6 as well.

Now, if we want to have 5 and 3 as the outcomes for two rolls, it would be equal to (1/6)(1/6).

Answer: D. 1/6 * 1/6
