1/18118

Explanation:

Since these two events are independent we can use the equation

P(AuuB)=P(A)xxP(B)P(AB)=P(A)×P(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
