Two dice are rolled. What is the possibility of rolling a 3 and a 2.
There are 36 possible outcomes when two dice are rolled (6 outcomes for the first die and 6 outcomes for the second die). To calculate the probability, we need to determine the number of outcomes resulting in a 3 and a 2.
There are two ways to roll a 3 and a 2: 2 on the first die and 1 on the second die, or 1 on the first die and 2 on the second die.
Therefore, the probability of rolling a 3 and a 2 is 2/36, which simplifies to 1/18 or approximately 0.0556.
To calculate the probability of rolling a specific outcome, in this case a 3 and a 2, we need to consider the number of favorable outcomes and the total number of possible outcomes.
On two dice, the possible outcomes are the combinations of both dice. Each die has 6 possible outcomes: 1, 2, 3, 4, 5, and 6.
So, the total number of possible outcomes is 6 x 6 = 36.
To find the number of favorable outcomes, we need to consider the ways in which we can get a 3 on one die and a 2 on the other die. There is only one possible outcome: (3, 2).
Therefore, the number of favorable outcomes is 1.
The probability of rolling a 3 and a 2 is given by the ratio of favorable outcomes to total outcomes:
Probability = Favorable outcomes / Total outcomes
Probability = 1 / 36
So, the probability of rolling a 3 and a 2 is 1/36.
