A fair die is tossed twice. Find the probability of obtaining a 3 and a 5.
- A. \(\frac{5}{12}\)
- B. \(\frac{2}{3}\)
- C. \(\frac{1}{18}\)
- D. \(\frac{1}{36}\)
Correct Answer: D. \(\frac{1}{36}\)
Explanation
P(c and e) = \(P(c) \times P(e)\)
P(3) = \(\frac{1}{6}\)
P(5) = \(\frac{1}{6}\)
P(3 and 5) = \frac{1}{6} \times \frac{1}{6} = \frac{1}{36}\)
