Question

if you roll two dice what is the chance of you getting a 2 or 4 ?

Answer 1

4/6
2/3

Answer 2

4 out of 12 which gives you 1/3

Answer 3

Since there are 6 opportunities on each die, and each die is mutually exclusive, and there is one opportunity on each die for a 2 and one for a 4, you have a 2/6 * 2/6 = 4/36 chance.
This reduces down to a 1/9 chance. This is if we are considering combinations that could occur.

If you are simply asking what the chance of getting an individual 2 or 4 is, then you would have a 2/6 chance on each die, which is a 4/12 or 1/3 chance. Depends on which application you are looking for.

Hope this helps.
