Q. You roll a 6-sided die two times.What is the probability of rolling a number greater than 3 and then rolling a number greater than 2?Simplify your answer and write it as a fraction or whole number._____
Determine Probability of Rolling: First, determine the probability of rolling a number greater than 3 on a 6-sided die. The numbers greater than 3 are 4, 5, and 6.
Calculate Probability for First Roll: There are 3 favorable outcomes (4,5,6) out of 6 possible outcomes for the first roll. So, the probability for the first roll is 63, which simplifies to 21.
Determine Probability of Rolling Again: Next, determine the probability of rolling a number greater than 2 on a 6-sided die. The numbers greater than 2 are 3, 4, 5, and 6.
Calculate Probability for Second Roll: There are 4 favorable outcomes (3,4,5,6) out of 6 possible outcomes for the second roll. So, the probability for the second roll is 64, which simplifies to 32.
Find Combined Probability: To find the combined probability of both events happening in sequence (rolling a number greater than 3 first and then a number greater than 2), multiply the probabilities of the two independent events.
Find Combined Probability: To find the combined probability of both events happening in sequence (rolling a number greater than 3 first and then a number greater than 2), multiply the probabilities of the two independent events.The combined probability is (21)×(32)=62, which simplifies to 31.
