$\frac{1}{18}$ $1/18$

Since these two events are independent we can use the equation

$P (A \cup B) = P (A) \times P (B)$ $P(AuuB)=P(A)xxP(B)$

$Let A = probability of rolling a 6 on one die$ $"Let "A="probability of rolling a 6 on one die"$

$:.P(A)=1/6$

$" Let "B="probability of rolling a number greater that 4"$

$P(B)="numbers greater than 4"/6=2/6=1/3$

$:.P(AuuB)=1/6xx1/3=1/18$
