Question

You roll a 6-sided die two times.


What is the probability of rolling a number less than 5 and then rolling a 6?

Answer 1

There are two possible ways to get a number less than 5 on the first roll: 1, 2, 3, or 4. The probability of this happening is 4/6 or 2/3.

If the first roll is less than 5, there is only one way to get a 6 on the second roll. The probability of this happening is 1/6.

To find the probability of both of these events happening, we multiply their probabilities:

(2/3) x (1/6) = 1/9

Therefore, the probability of rolling a number less than 5 and then rolling a 6 is 1/9.
