If you throw a six sided die twice, what is the probability that you will get:

Question

(i) A one on the first throw OR a two on the second throw ?
(ii) A one on the first toss AND a two on the second toss of the die ?

Answer 1

1) Either-or probabilities are found by adding the individual probabilities.

2) If the events are independent, the probability of both/all events occurring is determined by multiplying the probabilities of the individual events.
