Q. You roll a 66-sided die two times.\newlineWhat is the probability of rolling a number greater than 44 and then rolling a 44?\newlineSimplify your answer and write it as a fraction or whole number.\newline_____
  1. Probability of Rolling > 44: The possible outcomes of rolling a 66-sided die are {1,2,3,4,5,6}\{1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6\}. The probability of rolling a number greater than 44, which means rolling either a 55 or a 66, is P(\text{Rolling a number} > 4) = \frac{\text{Favorable outcomes}}{\text{Total outcomes}}.=26= \frac{2}{6}=13= \frac{1}{3}
  2. Probability of Rolling 44: The probability of rolling a 44 on the second roll is P(Rolling a 4)=Favorable outcomesTotal outcomes.P(\text{Rolling a 4}) = \frac{\text{Favorable outcomes}}{\text{Total outcomes}}.=16= \frac{1}{6}
  3. Probability of Sequential Events: The probability of both events happening in sequence (rolling a number greater than 44 and then rolling a 44) is the product of their individual probabilities. This is because the rolls are independent events.\newlineP(\text{Rolling a number} > 4 \text{ and then a } 4) = P(\text{Rolling a number} > 4) \times P(\text{Rolling a } 4)\newline=13×16= \frac{1}{3} \times \frac{1}{6}\newline=118= \frac{1}{18}
