Question

A single die is rolled twice. Find the probability of rolling an even number the first time and a number greater than 1 the second time.

Answer 1

5/12

Explanation:

The probability of throwing an even number (2 4 6) out of six numbers on the die (1 2 3 4 5 6) is

3/6

The probability of throwing a number greater than 1 is 5 out of 6.

The probability of both events occurring is 1/2 * 5/6 = 5/12 or just under 1/2
