Question

you roll a single die numbered from 1 to 6 twice. what is the probability of rolling a 6 the first time and an odd number second

Answer 1

1/12

Explanation:

Since the two rolls are independent, then the chance of getting a 6 in the first and an odd number in the second is obtained by multiplying the two probabilities.

1/6 is the probability of rolling 6, 1/2 is the probability of rolling an odd number

1/6 times 1/2 is 1/12
