Latoya is using two number cubes during a probability experiment. The faces of each cube are numbered 1 through 6. What is the probability that Latoya will get an outcome of a number less than 3 on the top of each cube on one roll of the pair of cubes?
A: 2/3
B: 1/9
C: 1/4
D: 1/3

Step-by-step explanation:
Each cube is numbered from 1 to 6, so each number has 1/6 chance of being in the top.
To get a number less than 3 (that is, 1 or 2), we have 2 options among 6, so the probability is 2/6 = 1/3.
The probability of having a number less than 3 on the top of each cube is the product of the probability for each cube, so we have that:
P = (1/3) * (1/3) = 1/9 = 0.1111 = 11.11%

Answer:
Less than 3 means a 1 or a 2 are rolled. Each die has a 2/6 = 1/3 probability of turning up 1 or 2. Together, two dice have a probability of (1/3)*(1/3) = 1/9
Step-by-step explanation:
SO THE ANSWER IS B 1/9
