Six-sided Die
What is the probability of rolling a 5 and then rolling a 3 with a normal six-sided die?
A = rolling a 5
B = rolling a 3
P(A and B) = P(A) • P(B)
P(A and B) = 1/6 • 1/6
P(A and B) = 1/36
You say?

Cool. I do understand that my recent probability questions are very basic bit this math course has always been very difficult for me. Probability word problems are a bit fuzzy.
