Question

If a pair of 6-sided dice is tossed, what is the probability that both dice will show a number that is a multiple of 3 (i.e. 3 or 6)? (Hint: There are 2 multiples of 3 on each die. Determine the number of possible outcomes that show a multiple of 3 on each die.)

Answer 1

1/9

Explanation:

The probability of one dice rolling a multiple of 3 = 2/6

Probability of both dice rolling a multiple of 3

= 2/6 * 2/6

= 4/36

=1/9
