Question

A student rolled 2 dice. What is the probability that the first die landed

on a number less than 3 and the second die landed on a number
greater than 3?

Answer 1

So what’s the probability you ask?
So the first dice can get either 1 or 2 and the second dice can have 4 5 or 6
So we need any one of these outcomes
(1,4) (1,5) (1,6) (2,5) (2,6) (2,4)
Clearly total no of outcomes is 36 (6x6)
Thus probability= 6/36 = 1/6
