Question

Latoya is using two number cubes during a probability experiment. The faces of each cube are numbered 1 through 6. What is the probability that Latoya will get an outcome of a number less than 3 on the top of each cube on one roll of the pair of cubes?

Answer 1

11.11%

Explanation:

Answer 2

0.1111 = 11.11%

Explanation:

Each cube is numbered from 1 to 6, so each number has 1/6 chance of being in the top.

To get a number less than 3 (that is, 1 or 2), we have 2 options among 6, so the probability is 2/6 = 1/3.

The probability of having a number less than 3 on the top of each cube is the product of the probability for each cube, so we have that:

P = (1/3) * (1/3) = 1/9 = 0.1111 = 11.11%
