Question

A six sided dice is rolled twice.

What is the probability that the first roll is an even number and the second roll is a number greater than 4?

Answer 1

Answer: 1/6 chance

Explanation:

FIRST ROLL:

even numbers are 2, 4, and 6

3/6 or 1/2 chance of rolling even (50%)

SECOND ROLL:

numbers greater than 4 are 5 and 6

2/6 or 1/3 chance of rolling a number greater than 4 (33 1/3%)

MATH:

1/3*1/2 = 1/6 or about 16-17%
