Question

Diamond is playing Yahtzee with her family. She is using five dice, numbered 1-6. What is the probability she will roll all even numbers?

Answer 1

Answer: 0.03125

Step-by-step explanation:

There are 6 sides for any single dice. Three of those sides are even numbers {2,4,6}. The probability of getting an even number on any single dice is 3/6 = 1/2 = 0.5

With 5 dice, we just multiply 0.5 by itself 5 times. A shorthand way to write this is to use exponents

0.5*0.5*0.5*0.5*0.5 = 0.5^5 = 0.03125
