Question

You roll 2 dice. What is the probability that the sum of the dice is odd and one die shows a 5? A 6 X 6 table of dice outcomes will help you to answer this question.

Write fractions using the slash ( / ) key. Reduce fractions to their lowest terms.

Answer 1

so the first probability would be 1/6, to show a 5
the second dice could show a 2, 4, or 6, to be an odd number
that would be 3/6 = 1/2
so multiply 1/6 x 1/2
