Q. You roll a 6-sided die two times.What is the probability of rolling an even number and then rolling an even number?Simplify your answer and write it as a fraction or whole number._____
Identify Total Outcomes: Identify the total number of outcomes for one roll of a 6-sided die.Since a 6-sided die has 6 faces, there are 6 possible outcomes for each roll.
Identify Favorable Outcomes: Identify the number of favorable outcomes for rolling an even number on a 6-sided die.The even numbers on a 6-sided die are 2, 4, and 6. Therefore, there are 3 favorable outcomes for rolling an even number.
Calculate Probability of Even Number: Calculate the probability of rolling an even number on one roll of a 6-sided die.The probability of rolling an even number on one roll is the number of favorable outcomes divided by the total number of outcomes.Probability of rolling an even number = Number of favorable outcomes / Total number of outcomes = 63=21
Calculate Probability of Two Rolls: Since the die rolls are independent events, calculate the probability of rolling an even number twice in a row.The probability of two independent events both occurring is the product of their individual probabilities.Probability of rolling an even number twice = (1/2)×(1/2)=1/4
