You roll a 6-sided die two times.What is the probability of rolling a number greater than 5 and then rolling a 6?Simplify your answer and write it as a fraction or whole number._____
Q. You roll a 6-sided die two times.What is the probability of rolling a number greater than 5 and then rolling a 6?Simplify your answer and write it as a fraction or whole number._____
Probability of Rolling > 5: The possible outcomes of rolling a 6-sided die are 1,2,3,4,5,6. The probability of rolling a number greater than 5 is P(\text{Rolling a number} > 5) = \frac{\text{Favorable outcomes}}{\text{Total outcomes}} = \frac{1}{6}
Probability of Rolling a 6: The possible outcomes of rolling a 6-sided die are 1,2,3,4,5,6. The probability of rolling a 6 is P(Rolling a 6)=Total outcomesFavorable outcomes=61
Probability of Rolling > 5 and 6: We found that P(\text{Rolling a number} > 5): 61 and P(Rolling a 6): 61. The probability of rolling a number greater than 5 and then rolling a 6 is P(\text{Rolling a number} > 5) \times P(\text{Rolling a 6}) = 61×61 = 361
