Question

A number cube with the numbers 1 to 6 is rolled. What is the theoretical probability of rolling the number 3?

Answer 1

`(1)/(6)`

Explanation:

There are 6 possible options:
`\text{1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6}`

There is 1 option out of those 6 that we are finding:
`\text{3}`

Therefore, the probability is
`(1)/(6)`.

Answer 2

1/6

Explanation:

When we roll a die, we can get the numbers 1,2,3,4,5,6

Each is equally likely

P(3) = How many times 3 occurs/ total

3 occurs 1 time in on the die and there are 6 possible numbers

P(3) = 1/6
