a red die is tossed and then a green die is tossed. What is the probability that the red die shows a six and
the green die shows a six?
this is wrong
To find the probability of two events happening together, you need to multiply the probabilities of each individual event.
In this case, we have a red die being tossed and a green die being tossed. Assuming both dice are fair and have six sides, each die has one-sixth chance of showing a six.
So the probability of the red die showing a six is 1/6, and the probability of the green die showing a six is also 1/6.
To find the probability of both events happening together (i.e., the red die showing a six AND the green die showing a six), we multiply the probabilities: (1/6) * (1/6) = 1/36.
Therefore, the probability that the red die shows a six and the green die shows a six is 1/36.
