Consider the experiment involving rolling a single die once.

What is P(even and Prime)?
I do not know how to start this can anyone help?
Answered by Marth
Which possibilities are both even and prime? Divide that by 6, the number of possibilities for a standard die.
Answered by Rmz
Would they both be 1/2?
Answered by Marth
P(even and prime) means the probability of rolling a single number that is BOTH even and prime. You found P(even) and P(prime) separately.
Answered by Rmz
so, because there are the same amount of even and odds wouldnt that make it a 1?
Answered by Marth
The only number that is both even and prime is 2. That is 1 possibility out of 6.

Oh.... I understand and see that now.
