Question

anonymous · Answer

If 1 die shows a 4, what restrictions do we have on the other dice to ensure the sum is even?

anonymous · Answer

3/6

anonymous · Answer

Right, the other dice must show an even number. Which has a 50% chance. (3/6 = 1/2 = 50%)

And what are the odds of rolling a 4 on one die?

$$P(\text{A AND B}) =  P(A) \times P(B)$$
