Question

A die has the numbers 3, 5, 6, 8, 10, and 12 on its face. You roll the die twice. What is the probability that you roll an odd number on both rolls? Enter your answer as a simplified fraction.

Answer 1

• 1/9

------------------------

There are two odd numbers: 3 and 5 out of six.

The probability of an odd number is:

• P(odd) = 2/6 = 1/3

Repeating same outcome twice has the probability:

• P(odd,odd) = 1/3 * 1/3 = 1/9
