Question

If two 6-sided number cubes are rolled, what is the probability that a 2 is rolled on the first cube and a 5 is rolled on the second cube?

Answer 1

the answer is going to be 1/36

Answer 2

There are 6 sides on the number cubes, numbered 1-6.

The odds of rolling a 2 are 1 in 6, or 1/6

P(2)=1/6

The odds of rolling a 5 are 1 in 6, or 1/6

P(5)=1/6

P(2)*P(5)=1/6*1/6=1/36

The odds of rolling a 2 and a 5 are 1/36

Answer=1/36
