Answer:


\large\boxed{2/6\,\, \text{chance of obtaining a 1 or 4}}

Explanation:

In this question, we're trying to find the probability of a dice landing on 1 or 4.

In this case, we know that:

  • The die has 6 faces (1-6)
  • Rolled once

With the information above, we can find the probability.

We know that we're trying to obtain either a 1 or 4, so there would be 2 chances of getting those.

We also know that there are 6 sides in total, so that means that 2 out of the 6 sides is either a 1 or 4.

To put it together, we would have 2/6 chance of obtaining a 1 or 4.

(If you have to simplify it, it would be 1/3)

I hope this helped you out.

Good luck on your academics.

Have a fantastic day!
