Question

Emily tossed a die onto a black and red checkerboard. what is the probability that it will land with a value of 2, on a red square?
(hint: half the squares on a checkerboard are black)

Answer 1

1/2 becuase they are in between i think hope this helps

Answer 2

It is given that half the squares on a checkerboard are black. Therefore, the other half will be red. Thus, the probability of finding a red square on the checkerboard is: $P(red)=\frac{1}{2}$

Now, the Probability of a die landing with a value of 2 is:

$P(2)=\frac{1}{6}$

Therefore, the probability of the event that the die face is a 2 and lands on the red square is:

$P(red)\times P(2)=\frac{1}{2}\times \frac{1}{6} =\frac{1}{12}$

This can be expressed as percentage as: $\frac{1}{12}\times 100\approx 8.33$%
