Question

Suppose that two fair dice are rolled. find the probability that the number on the first die is a 1 or the number on the second die is a 4

Answer 1

1/36

Explanation:

Assuming the dice has 6 sides in total, we can set up a probability for each scenario.

The chances of the dice landing on 1 will be 1/6, since there are 6 total faces. Same goes for the second die and landing on 4.

Now that we have our 2 probabilities, we multiply them to get the final probability. 1/6 x 1/6 = 1/36.
