Question

You roll a pair of six-sided number cubes, numbered 1 through 6. What is the probability of rolling two odd numbers? (Enter your probability as a fraction

Answer 1

1/4 or 25%

Explanation:

The probability for rolling an odd number is 50% or
`(1)/(2)` because there are 3 odd numbers, (1, 3, 5) and 6 total outcomes (1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6).
`(3)/(6) =(1)/(2)`

The probability for rolling two odd numbers in a row is

`(1)/(2) *(1)/(2) =(1)/(4)`

So, the probability of rolling an odd number twice is 25% or
`(1)/(4)`.
