Answer:
B) 0.167
Step-by-step explanation:
The student has 2 dice. We are assuming that both of those dice are limited at 6 (a number cube).
The first die needs to land on a number less than 3 (and it does not include 3). This means that there are two numbers that can meet the requirements, 1 & 2, which makes the chance 2/6, or 1/3.
The second die needs to land on a number greater than 3 (and it does not include 3). This means that there are 3 numbers that can meet the requirements, 4, 5, & 6, which makes the chances 3/6 or 1/2.
Multiply the two fractions together:
1/3 x 1/2 = 1/6
Divide, change to decimal:
1/6 = 0.167 (rounded)
B) 0.167 is your answer.
