Question 1053872: An unfair die has a 1/4 chance of scoring 6. This unfair die is thrown with a fair die. Find the probability that the unfair die will score 6 and the fair die will not score 6. Answer by Boreal(15235) (Show Source):
You can put this solution on YOUR website! They are independent, so the probabilities of each multiply.
(1/4)(5/6)=5/24.
The probability of not 6 is 5/6 for a fair die.
