Question

An experiment consists of rolling 2 fair dice. How do you find each probability of P(rolling two 4)?

Answer 1

multiply the probability of getting one four times the probability of getting the second four.

Explanation:

The probability of getting a four is 1/6 so the probability of getting two fours is `1/6 xx 1/6 = 1/36`

There are 36 possibilities when rolling two dice. Only one of these is two fours so the probability is is 1/36
