You roll a 6-sided die two times. What is the probability of rolling a number less than 4 and then rolling a number greater than 3? Write your answer as a percentage.

Answer:

[tex]\frac{1}{4}[/tex]

Step-by-step explanation:

In probabilty,

"AND" means "multiplication"

"OR" means "addition"

Here, we want probability of "rolling number less than 4" "AND" "rolling number greater than 3". Thus, we find the inidvidual probabilities and then "MULTIPLY" (since "AND").

In a 6-sided die, the numbers are 1,2,3,4,5, and 6.

Thus,

Probability of rolling a number less than 4 = 3/6 = 1/2 (the numbers are 1,2, and 3)

and

Probability of rolling a number greater than 3 = 3/6 = 1/2 (the numbers are 4,5, and 6)

Thus:

P(less than 4) and P(greater than 3) = 1/2 * 1/2 = 1/4

The probability is [tex]\frac{1}{4}[/tex]
