Question

Probability of multiple events

A standard number die is tossed once, and then again. Find P(first
roll = 1 and second roll = 1),
help pls

Answer 1

1/36

Explanation:

A standard die has 6 faces

The numbers 1 through 6 on singly on each face

so the probability of tossing a 1 would be;

1/6

The probability of tossing another 1 would still be same 1/6

So the probability of tossing a 1 and another 1 would be the product of the two tosses as follows;

1/6 * 1/6 = 1/36
