Question

A six-sided die is rolled.

What is the probability that either a 2 or 4 is rolled?

A. 1/3
B.5/6
C.1/6
D1/2

Answer 1

A. 1/3

Explanation:

First take the number of sides on a standard die, which would be 6. Which means there’s 6 possible numbers that can be rolled. You want 2 or 4 which is 2 of the possible 6 outcomes. So there’s a 2/6 chance that you’ll receive one of those 2 outcomes. Finally simplify 2/6 to 1/3.

Answer 2

a.) 1/3

Explanation:

1/6 is a 2 is rolled

1/6 if a 4 is rolled

so 2/6 if either are rolled

which simplifies to 1/3
