Answer:

1 / 24, or 4.16667%

Explanation:

To find the probability of both events happening you first need to calculate the probability of each event, then multiply them together.

The blue section is 1 of 4 total sections, meaning the probability is \frac{1}{4}

A six sided die has 1 of 6 possible outcomes, or \frac{1}{6}


(1)/(4) * (1)/(6) = (1)/(24)
