If two 6-sided number cubes are rolled, what is the probability that a 2 is rolled on the first cube and a 5 is rolled on the second cube?

Respuesta :

The probability would be 1/6. Since there is 6 sides on each number cube, for each cube there would only be a 1/6 chance of it landing on a 2 on one cube and a 5 on the other if each cube is rolled once.

The probability that a 2 is rolled on the first cube and a 5 is rolled on the second cube is 1/36.

What is probability?

Probability is "possibility that deals with occurrence of random events".  

According to the question,

Number of 6-sided number cubes rolled = 2

Sample space for dice one is (1,2,3,4,5,6)

Sample space for dice two is (1,2,3,4,5,6)

Probability of getting 2 is rolled on the first cube = 1/6

Probability of getting 5 is rolled on the second cube = 1/6

Probability formula = [tex]\frac{Number of favorable events }{Total number of events}[/tex]

= [tex]\frac{1}{6}[/tex] × [tex]\frac{1}{6}[/tex]

= [tex]\frac{1}{36}[/tex]

Hence, the probability that a 2 is rolled on the first cube and a 5 is rolled on the second cube is 1/36.
