Jermey will roll a numder cube, numbered1-6 twice. What is the probability of rolling an even number, than the number 3.
The probability of rolling an even number is 1/2
The probability of rolling a 3 is 1/6
Since the probabilities are independent the probability of rolling an even followed by a 3 is just the product of the two, namely (1/2)*1/6) → 1/12
