Hallie should roll two number cubes and hope to get the same number on both cubes.
The probability of getting a 5 on the wheel is 1/6 or approximately 16.67%.
The probability of getting the same number on both number cubes is 1/6 (the probability of getting any specific number on one cube) multiplied by 1/6 (the probability of getting the same number on the second cube). This equals 1/36 or approximately 2.78%.
Therefore, Hallie has a higher probability of winning the grand prize by rolling two number cubes and hoping to get the same number on both cubes.
Hallie is trying to win the grand prize on a game show. Should she try her luck by spinning a wheel with 6 equal sections labeled from 1 to 6 and hope she gets a 5, or should she roll two number cubes and hope she gets the same number on both cubes? .
