Question

A single​ 6-sided die is rolled twice. Find the probability of getting a 3 the first time and a 4 the second time. Express the probability as a simplified fraction

Answer 1

`(1)/(36)`

Explanation:

The first roll. There are six possible answers (1,2,3,4,5,6), but of those 6 answers, there is only one that I want; 3. so, The probability of rolling a 3 is
`(1)/(6)`. There is the same probability for rolling a 4.

If I multiply these together I will find the probability that I am looking for.

`(1)/(6)` x
`(1)/(6)` =
`(1)/(36)`
