Question

You have two dice. What are the chances of rolling a three with the green die and a five with the blue die? Show the problem as well as the answer.

Answer 1

we can calculate the propability of each dice and multiply to have the probability of the problem

Probability of 3 with the green die

$\frac{1}{6}$

because is one option between 6 faces of the die

Probability of 5 with the green die

$\frac{1}{6}$

because is one option between 6 faces of the die

Total probability

$\begin{gathered} \frac{1}{6}\times\frac{1}{6} \\ \\ \frac{1}{36}\approx0.027\ldots \end{gathered}$

probability is 0.027 and the percent is 2.7%
