D)0.75

Answer 1

1) The probability of getting an even number when rolling a six-sided number cube is 0.5. Choice A

2) 80%. Choice C

Explanation:

1)

We are required to determine the probability of getting an even number when rolling a six-sided number cube. The six-sided number cube has the following numbers written on its faces;

1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6

The numbers; 2, 4, and 6 are even

The probability of getting an even number;

= ( number of faces with even numbers)/ (total number of faces)

= 3/6

0.5

2)

We are required to determine the probability of choosing a letter that is not a vowel after placing the letters for the word smart in a bag.

The non-vowels in the word smart are; s, m, r, and t. There are 4 non-vowels out of a total of 5 letters. The required probability is thus;

(4/5)*100 = 80%
