Maths - probability

[missk167]

Hey guys am really struggling with my maths exam for my level 5 in social care. Any help would be amazing.

If memory serves, to find the probability of consecutive outcomes you multiply each of the probabilitiestogether.

The chance of rolling NOT a six on a dice is 5/6
Therefore the chance of this happening twice in a row is 5/6 x 5/6 = 25/36 (or 0.694)

The chance of rolling an odd number on a dice is 3/6 (or 1/2)
Therefore rolling odd numbers three times in a row is 1/2 x 1/2 x 1/2 = 1/8 (or 0.125)

Think of how many options there are ie. 6 sides and how many are not a 6 ie 5.
