Question

Using a Table to Find the Probability of a Compound Event
An outcome table with 36 possible outcomes. The number of desired outcomes is 9.

What is the probability of rolling an even number and then an odd number when rolling two number cubes?

Size of sample spaces =
Number of desired outcomes =
P(first is even and second is odd) =

Answer 1

Size of sample space = 36
Number of desired outcomes = 9 (3 even choices for first die × 3 odd choices for second die)
P(first is even and second is odd) = 9/36 = 1/4 = 0.25
