Question

On a fair, 8-sided die, each face is painted as follows: the 1 and 2 are painted green, 3 through 6 are painted blue, 7 is painted yellow, and 8 is painted gray. If the die is rolled one time, what is the probability that the roll will show an even number AND a face that is painted blue? Provide the final answer as a fraction.

Answer 1

0.25

Explanation:

outcomes painted in blue: {3, 4, 5, 6}

number of even outcomes painted in blue: 2

number of total outcomes: 8

Therefore, the probability that the roll will show an even number and a face that is painted blue is: 2/8 = 0.25
