Calculate Probability Less Than 4: Determine the probability of rolling a number less than 4 on a single roll of a 6-sided die. The possible outcomes of rolling a die are {1,2,3,4,5,6}. The numbers less than 4 are {1,2,3}. Therefore, the probability of rolling a number less than 4 is P(\text{Rolling a number} < 4) = \frac{\text{Favorable outcomes}}{\text{Total outcomes}} = \frac{3}{6} = \frac{1}{2}
Independent Event Probability: Since the die rolls are independent events, the probability of rolling a number less than 4 on the first roll and then again on the second roll is the product of the individual probabilities.Using the probability from Step 1, we calculate P(\text{Rolling a number} < 4 \text{ and then Rolling a number} < 4) = P(\text{Rolling a number} < 4) \times P(\text{Rolling a number} < 4)=21×21=41
Convert to Percentage: Convert the probability to a percentage.To convert a probability to a percentage, multiply it by 100.(1/4)×100=25%
