Q:
A fair six-sided die is rolled twice. What is the probability of getting 4 on the first roll and not getting 6 on the second roll ?
Answer & Explanation
Answer: B) 5/36
Explanation: The two events mentioned are independent.
The first roll of the die is independent of the second roll. Therefore the probabilities can be directly multiplied.
P(getting first 4) = 1/6
P(no second 6) = 5/6
Therefore P(getting first 4 and no second 6) = 1/6 x 5/6 = 5/36
