Question

The six faces of a dice are numbered -3, -2, -1, 0, 1 and 2. If the dice is rolled twice and the two numbers are multiplied together, what is the probability that the result is a negative?

Answer 1

use the possibility diagram

Answer 2

I dont know what that is :/

Answer 3

no other option..learn the possiblity diagram tree!!

Answer 4

no need for tree possibility diagram is enough

Answer 5

your diagram would look like this:

first roll --> second roll --> (+ or -)

--> + --> +
+
--> - --> -



--> + --> -
-
--> - --> +

so you have a 50% chance of getting a negative number

Answer 6

The answer is
(1/6) * (3/6) = 1/12

Answer 7

@8124242246; your answer is different to sallysim's

Answer 8

I'm not sure why the 1/6 is there in their answer. Since the question only asks if the product will be positive or negative only the signs on the numbers count.
