Question

Two number cubes are rolled.

What is the probability that the first lands on 2 and the second lands on a number greater than 4?




Enter you answer, as a fraction in simplified form, in the box.

Answer 1

1/18

Explanation:

P(2) = 1/6

Greater than 4: 5,6

P(>4) = 2/6 = 1/3

1/6 × 1/3 = 1/18

Answer 2

1/18

Explanation:

Assuming the die are regular 1,2,3,4,5,6

P(2) = number of 2's/ total numbers on die

= 1/6

Roll again

Assuming the die are regular 1,2,3,4,5,6

P (numbers greater than 4) = {5,6}/total numbers on die

=2/6 = 1/3

P (2, then number greater than 4) = 1/6 * 1/3 = 1/18
