Question 1040579: Consider rolling two dices: One with 2 sides painted black and 4 painted red; the other with 3 sides painted blue and 3 sides painted yellow.
a. What is the probability of getting a black or a blue?
b. What is the probability of getting a red and a blue?

Die A has a 1/3 probability of Black and 2/3 probability of red
Die B has a 1/2 probability of a blue and 1/2 probability of yellow
P(Black and Blue)=(1/3)(1/2)=1/6. Multiply these because one die does not affect the other. They are independent.
P(red and blue)=(2/3)(1/2)=(1/3)
