Question

If one of the 50 states is chosen at random, then a standard die is rolled, Find the probability of getting a state that starts with the letter N, then a number that is at least 2.

Answer 1

Answer:2/15

Explanation:

The US States that start with an "N" are:

Nebraska

Nevada

New Hampshire

New Jersey

New Mexico

New York

North Carolina

North Dakota

The probability of selecting a state that starts with an N is 8/50

The probability of rolling at least a two is 5/6.

If we multiply the two probabilities together, we get 2/15.
