Question

Suppose you roll a die two times. What is the probability of rolling a 3 both times?

Answer 1

whats the probability of rolling a 3 in one throw of dice?

Answer 2

1/6.

Answer 3

good,
the 2nd dice throw is independent of the first,
so you can just multiply the two probabilities.

(3 in 1st throw)*(3 in 2nd throw)

Answer 4

So it's 1/6 * 1/6?

Answer 5

yes!

Answer 6

So that would be 1/36 then?

Answer 7

exactly :)

Answer 8

Thank you for your help! :D

Answer 9

welcome ^_^

Answer 10

Answer 11

it is a 1/6 for 1, 1/36 for 2 1/216 for 3 1/1296 for 4 meaning getting a yahtzee is a 1/1296 probability also look up numberphile on youtube and sub to them if you want anything intresting in math and physics

Answer 12

Thanks for the advice.
