For a six sides dice: Possible numbers are: 1, 2, 3, 4, 5, and 6 Total of 6 possible numbers Possible even number outcomes are: 2, 4, and 6 Total of 3 outcomes out of 6 possibilities Probability that the roll is a even number, p(A) = 3/6 p(A) = 3/6 = 1/2
<span>Possible outcomes greater than 4 are: 5 and 6 Total of 2 outcomes out of 6 possibilities </span>Probability that the roll is a number greater than 4, p(B) = 2/6 p(B) = 2/6 = 1/3
The probability that the first roll is a even number and the second roll is a number greater than 4 = p(A and B) p(A and B) = p(A) x p(B)
p(A) = 1/2 p(B) = 1/3 p(A and B) = p(A) x p(B) = 1/2 * 1/3 = 1/6
