Question

If you roll a die what is the probability of rolling a 2 or 6?

Answer 1

Step-by-step explanation: the answer is 1/3

Answer 2

`(2)/(6)`

Explanation:

We have that, a die is rolled once.

As, the total outcomes can be 1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6.

So, the probability to obtain 2 is
`(1)/(6)` and the probability to obtain 6 is
`(1)/(6)`.

Thus, the probability of rolling 2 or 6 after rolling a die once will be
`(1)/(6)+(1)/(6)` i.e.
`(2)/(6)`.

Hence, the probability of rolling a 2 or 6 is
`(2)/(6)`.
