Question

Two six-sided dice are rolled. Find the probability that the first die is not a 5, and that the second die is not a 2

Answer 1

The correct answer is 5/6 bc

Explanation:

The correct answer was 5/6

Let E be the event "the first die is a 5" and F be the event "the second die is a 2." E and F are independent events. Hence so are the complements of E and F. This means that the probability of the complement of E given the complement of F is just the probability of the complement of E, which is 1 - 1/6 = 5/6.
