Answer:

  • 1/3 or 33.33%

Explanation:

Dice A - Dice B = 1 is likely if:

  • 1. Dice A = 2 and Dice B = 1

or

  • 2. Dice A = 4 and Dice B = 3

Probability of the first scenario is:

  • 2/6*3/6 = 1/6

Probability of the second scenario is:

  • 2/6*3/6 = 1/6

Total is:

  • 1/6 + 1/6 = 2/6 = 1/3 or 33.33%
