Question

Becky is tossing a six-sided number cube labeled 1, 2, 3, 4, 5, and 6. What is the probability of tossing 6 two times in a row? A. 1 36 B. 1 6 C. 1 3 D. 1 2

Answer 1

A. 1/36

Explanation:

The probability of Becky tossing 6, 2 times in a row is given by the following ways:

1. If you toss the die the first time you get an odd of 1/6

2. If you toss the die the second time you get another odd of 1/6

3. You multiply by odds 1/6 with 1/6

= 1/6 x 1/6

= 1/36

Therefore option a answers the question correctly.
