Question

2/6

anonymous · Answer

it would be 1 / 6 for each roll for each number so i think it would be 2/12

anonymous · Answer

its 2/6

2/6 but if you want it in simplest form it would be 1/3

anonymous · Answer

Exactly

phi · Answer

you multiply the probability of each event  (assuming they are independent, and they are)

phi · Answer

you could do a test.  Roll a die.  write down the number.   on average once out of 6 times you will get a 5

out of the rolls where you get a 5, roll again.  It will be 1 out 6 chance of getting a 2

Guys a die has 6 sides..if you have the probability of rolling two different numbers out of six different numbers then the probability would obviously be 2/6. You guys seem to be making this a harder problem than it needs to be..Its actually quite simple..
