Question

You have two dice. What are the chances of rolling a three with the green die and a five with the blue die? Show the problem as well as the answer.

Answer 1

we can calculate the propability of each dice and multiply to have the probability of the problem

Probability of 3 with the green die

`(1)/(6)`

because is one option between 6 faces of the die

Probability of 5 with the green die

`(1)/(6)`

because is one option between 6 faces of the die

Total probability

`\begin{gathered} (1)/(6)*(1)/(6) \\ \\ (1)/(36)\approx0.027\ldots \end{gathered}`

probability is 0.027 and the percent is 2.7%
