Alex says that if he rolls an odd number on the first number cube, it is more likely that he will roll an even number on the second number cube. Is he correct? Explain.

Answer:

no

Explanation:

The reason why is because he has a 50% chance of getting odd or even numbers any time he rolls the number cube.

Answer:

Alex isn't correct.

Explanation:

Sample Response: Alex is not correct. Rolling the two number cubes are independent events and the probability of getting an odd or an even number on either roll will be ½. :)
