Danny rolls two number cubes (dice), one red and one blue. What is
the probability that he will roll a 2 on the red cube and a 6 on the
blue cube?
A) 1/6
B) 2/15
C) 1/18
D) 1/36 (Correct Answer)
Explanation:
The probability of both events happening is the product of the probabilities of each event happening individually. The probability of rolling a 2 on the red cube is 1/6. The probability of rolling a 6 on the blue cube is 1/6. The probability of both events happening is 1/6 x 1/6 = 1/36.
