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 less than 4?Write your answer as a percentage._____%
Probability of Rolling > 3: The possible outcomes of rolling a 6-sided die are {1,2,3,4,5,6}. To find the probability of rolling a number greater than 3, we count the favorable outcomes (4, 5, 6) and divide by the total number of outcomes.P(\text{Rolling a number} > 3) = \frac{\text{Favorable outcomes}}{\text{Total outcomes}} =63=21
Probability of Rolling < 4: Similarly, to find the probability of rolling a number less than 4, we count the favorable outcomes (1,2,3) and divide by the total number of outcomes.P(\text{Rolling a number} < 4) = \frac{\text{Favorable outcomes}}{\text{Total outcomes}}=63=21
Probability of Sequential Events: The probability of both events happening in sequence (rolling a number greater than 3 and then rolling a number less than 4) is the product of their individual probabilities.P(\text{Rolling a number} > 3 \text{ and then} < 4) = P(\text{Rolling a number} > 3) \times P(\text{Rolling a number} < 4)=21×21=41
Expressing Probability as Percentage: To express the probability as a percentage, we multiply the probability by 100. (1/4)×100=25%So, the probability percentage is 25%.
