Question 1166977: You roll two six-sided fair dice.
a. Let A be the event that the first die is even and the second is a 2, 3, 4 or 5.
P(A) =
Round your answer to four decimal places.
There are three even numbers on a 6-sided die, so the probability of an even number is 3/6 or 1/2. The probability of a 2,3,4, or 5 is 4/6 or 2/3. Since die rolls are independent events, the multiplication rule applies.
