A pair of dice is rolled, and the number that appears uppermost on each die is observed. Refer to this experiment and find the probability of the given event.
One die shows a 5, and the other is a number less than 3.
Here are all 36 ways the dice can land, and I have colored red the 4
ways which have one die showing a 5, and the other showing a number
less than 3.

Therefore the probability is 4 out of 36, so put 4 over 36,
getting and when you reduce it you get and that is
the probability. That means that if you roll the dice many
times, then on the average you'll get one of those rolls
colored red about 1 time out of 9.
