Question

a single die is rolled twice. Find the probability of rolling an odd number the first time and a number greater than 3 the second time.

Answer 1

Take the two rolls separately

First roll: probability of getting an odd: (# of odd faces on a die)/(total # of faces)

Second roll: (# of faces above 3 on a die)/(total # of faces)

Calculate the two probabilities separately

Then multiply the probabilities together since this is a compound event
