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: Option D
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})
