A standard six-sided die is rolled twice. What is the probability that the product of the rolls is 3 or 12?
A standard six-sided die is rolled twice. What is the probability that the product of the rolls is 3 or 12?
How to get 3 ....... 1, 3 3, 1 2 ways
How to get 12 ....... 2, 6 6, 2 3, 4 4, 3 4 ways
total 6 ways
Number of total possible combinations 6 x 6 = 36 ways
So the probability is 6 / 36 = 1 / 6
