Identify Odd and Even Numbers: There are 3odd numbers (1, 3, 5) and 3even numbers (2, 4, 6) on a 6-sided die. The probability of rolling an odd number on the first roll is the number of odd outcomes divided by the total number of outcomes.
Calculate Probability of Rolling Odd Number: The probability of rolling an odd number on the first roll is 63, which simplifies to 21.
Calculate Probability of Rolling Even Number: The probability of rolling an even number on the second roll is also 63, which simplifies to 21, because the outcome of the second roll is independent of the first roll.
Multiply Probabilities for Combined Probability: To find the combined probability of two independent events, we multiply the probabilities of each event occurring. So, we multiply the probability of rolling an odd number by the probability of rolling an even number.
Multiply Probabilities for Combined Probability: To find the combined probability of two independent events, we multiply the probabilities of each event occurring. So, we multiply the probability of rolling an odd number by the probability of rolling an even number.The combined probability is (21)×(21)=41.
