A die is rolled twice. What is the probability of showing a 5 on the first roll and an even number on the second roll?

Answer and Explanation:

The number of elements of the sample space is, n (S) = 36 n (S) = 36. Let A be the event of getting a 5 on the first roll and an even number on the second roll. So the number of elements of A is, n (A) = 3 n (A) = 3.

1/6 for the first roll

1/2 for the second

Step-by-step explanation:

5 is one out of 6 faces on a die

so, 1/6

There are 3 even numbered sides out of six

so 3/6 or 1/2
