Answer 1

Hello there,

Shelly rolls a number cube labeled from 1 to 6. What is the probability that she rolls a number greater than 5 or less than 2?

Answer: 33%

Answer 2

1/3 =0.33 = 33%

Explanation:

The probability is the number of chances divided by the total number. The total number of options is 6 since it is a six sided cube. She could roll a 6 to be greater than 5 or 1 to get less than 2. These are two options out of total of 6.

2 out of 6 is 2/6 which simplifies to 1/3 =0.33 = 33%
