Question

The probability of getting the same value on the second roll of a die as on the first roll is $\frac{2}{6}$.

• A. True
• B. False

Answer 1

The correct option is B

False

Outcomes of rolling a die = {1, 2, 3, 4, 5,6}

Since these are independent events, means the probability of occuring one event is no way affects probability of occuring other event.

The probability of getting the same value on the second roll as on the first is $\frac{1}{6}$ .

The probability of getting the same value on both the first and second roll is $\frac{1}{6}$ x $\frac{1}{6}$ = $\frac{1}{36}$ .
