We need to find What is the probability of rolling a number greater than 2 twice in a row on a fair six-sided die, with each of the numbers 1– 6 on each side?

As we are rolling two dice => Number of cases = \(6^2\) = 36

Getting more than 2 in both the rolls is possible in the following cases
(3,3), (3,4), (3,5), (3,6)
(4,3), (4,4), (4,5), (4,6)
(5,3), (5,4), (5,5), (5,6)
(6,3), (6,4), (6,5), (6,6)

=> 16 cases

=> Probability that both numbers are greater than 2 = \(\frac{16}{36}\) = \(\frac{4}{9}\)

So, Answer will be C
Hope it helps!

A. \(\frac{1}{4}\)

B. \(\frac{5}{18}\)

C. \(\frac{4}{9}\)

D. \(\frac{5}{9}\)

E. \(\frac{2}{3}\)



(3,4,5,6) 4 Desired out comes

total out comes 36 as we are rolling dice twice

4/6 X 4/6 = 4/9
