Question

You roll a six-sided die twice. What is the probability of rolling an even number and then an odd number? A) 1/4 B) 1/6 C)1/9 D) 1/12

Answer 1

1/3

Explanation:

This is a compound event. Your sample space consists of {red and 1, red and 2, red and 3, red and 4, red and 5, red and 6, red and 1, red and 2, red and 3, red and 4, red and 5, red and 6, black and 1, black and 2, black and 3, black and 4, black and 5, black and 6} You are looking for an odd number and a red chip. So there are 18 possibilities and 6 of them are what you are looking for. The correct answer is

1

3

Answer 2

B) 1/6

Explanation:

If you roll a six-sided die twice the two times you roll you have a chance of getting an odd number the first time and an even number the second time.

Than would look like 2/12.

2/12 simplified is equal to 1/6.

So,this means the answer is 1/6.

Hope this helps!
