The

probability of rolling a number less than 4 on a 6-sided die is 3/6 or 1/2. The probability of rolling a number greater than 3 on a 6-sided die is also 3/6 or 1/2.

To find the probability of both events happening, we multiply the probabilities:

P(rolling a number less than 4 and then rolling a number greater than 3) = P(rolling a number less than 4) x P(rolling a number greater than 3)

P(rolling a number less than 4 and then rolling a number greater than 3) = 1/2 x 1/2 = 1/4

Therefore, the probability of rolling a number less than 4 and then rolling a number greater than 3 is 1/4.

Answer:

Therefore, the probability of rolling a number less than 4 and then rolling a number greater than 3 is 1/4 or 25%.

Explanation:

The probability of rolling a number less than 4 on a 6-sided die is 3/6 or 1/2. The probability of rolling a nur than 3 is also 3/6 or 1/2.

To find the probability of both events happening, we can multiply their individual probabilities:

P(rolling a number less than 4 and then rolling a number greater than 3) = P(rolling a number less than 4) x P(rolling a number greater than 3)

= 1/2 x 1/2

= 1/4

Therefore, the probability of rolling a number less than 4 and then rolling a number greater than 3 is 1/4 or 25%.
