Question

An unbiased die is tossed twice find the probability of getting 4,5 or 6 on the first toss and 1,2,3 or 4 on the second toss

Answer 1

Answer:

The probability of getting 4,5 or 6 on the first toss and 1,2,3 or 4 on the second toss will be 1/3

Step-by-step explanation:

Since there are total 6 outcomes,

The probability of getting 4,5 or 6 on the first toss = 3/6 = 1/2

The probability of getting 1,2,3 or 4 on the second toss = 4/6 = 2/3

Since the events are independent so we multiply the individual probabilities to get the overall probability,

Hence net probability = 1/2 x 2/3 = 1/3
