Step-by-step explanation: Given that 'a' and 'b' are integers such that their product is 5. We are to find the least possible value of 'a to the power b'.
Since a and b are integers and a × b = 5, so their possible values are
For these only four choices of a and b, we have the following values of a to the power b:
since -1 is the smallest among these four values, so the least possible value of 'a to the power b' is -1.
The probability of rolling a 1 is 1/6 because there are 6 numbers. You multiply that probability by the probability of getting a 2 or 3 which is 2/6 or 1/3 to get 1/18.
