Question

What is the probability that Shironda rolls a 5 on the number cube and then chooses a 5 from the deck?

Answer 1

`1/78`

Explanation:

The probability that one rows a 5 on a standard six-sided cube is `1/6` since there is `1` number on the dice that has the number 5 out of a total of 6 possibilities.

On a deck of 52 cards, there are four 5's (for each suit). Thus, the probability is `4/52=1/13`.

These events are independent. Thus, to calculate their P(A and B), we multiply their probabilities. `1/6*1/13=1/78`.
