Question

A die is rolled twice. What is the probability of getting a 2 then a 3?

Step-by-Step Solution

Answer

 The probability of getting a 2 then a 3 is $\frac{1}{36}$.

Step 1. Probability.

Probability measures likelihood of an event to occur 

Step 2. Rolling a die.

When a die is rolled twice, total number of combinations in the sample space are 36. $2,3$ appears only once in the possible combinations.

Step 3. Find the probability.

The probability of rolling a 2 then a 3 is given by

$P=\frac{1}{36}$

Therefore, the probability of getting a 2 then a 3 is $\frac{1}{36}$.
