Q. You roll a 6-sided die two times.What is the probability of rolling a number less than 4 and then rolling a number greater than 3?Write your answer as a percentage.____%
Determine Probability Less Than 4: Determine the probability of rolling a number less than 4 on 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 calculated as the number of favorable outcomes divided by the total number of outcomes. P(\text{Rolling a number} < 4) = \frac{\text{Favorable outcomes}}{\text{Total outcomes}} = \frac{3}{6} = \frac{1}{2}
Determine Probability Greater Than 3: Determine the probability of rolling a number greater than 3 on a 6-sided die. The numbers greater than 3 are {4,5,6}. Therefore, the probability of rolling a number greater than 3 is also calculated as the number of favorable outcomes divided by the total number of outcomes. P(\text{Rolling a number} > 3) = \frac{\text{Favorable outcomes}}{\text{Total outcomes}} = \frac{3}{6} = \frac{1}{2}
Calculate Combined Probability: Calculate the combined probability of rolling a number less than 4 first and then rolling a number greater than 3.Since the two rolls are independent events, the combined probability is the product of the individual probabilities.P(\text{Rolling a number} < 4 \text{ and then} > 3) = P(\text{Rolling a number} < 4) \times P(\text{Rolling a number} > 3)=21×21=41
Convert to Percentage: Convert the probability to a percentage.To express the probability as a percentage, multiply it by 100.(1/4)×100=25%
