Question

Using a fair number cube, what is the probability of rolling a number larger than the number 2 and then rolling a number larger than 2 again?

A. 1/6


B. 22/40


C. 4/9


D. Unlikely


E. Certain


F. Impossible


G. Neither likely nor Unlikely

Answer 1

The probability of rolling a number larger than 2 on a fair number cube is 4/6. The probability of rolling a number larger than 2 again is also 4/6. Therefore, the probability of rolling a number larger than 2 and then rolling a number larger than 2 again is 4/6 x 4/6 = 16/36 = 4/9.

So, the answer is C, 4/9
