Question

A red die and blue die are rolled. The red die has 99 sides and the blue die has 88 sides. What is the probability of rolling a 3 on the red die and a 4 on the blue die? You do not need to simplify your answer.

Answer 1

wrong

Answer 2

Since the probability of rolling any specific number on a die is 1 divided by the number of sides on the die, the probability of rolling a 3 on a 99-sided die is 1/99 and the probability of rolling a 4 on an 88-sided die is 1/88.

Therefore, the probability of rolling a 3 on the red die and a 4 on the blue die is (1/99) * (1/88) = 1/8712.

Answer 3

I apologize for the error. Let's correct it.

The probability of rolling a 3 on the red die is 1/99 and the probability of rolling a 4 on the blue die is 1/88.

To find the probability of both events occurring, we multiply the probabilities:
(1/99) * (1/88) = 1/8712

Therefore, the probability of rolling a 3 on the red die and a 4 on the blue die is 1/8712.
