Question

and 6 are red. What is the probability of rolling the cube and getting a green or even number?
00
0101

Answer 1

5/6

Explanation:

The sides numbered 1,2,5 are green and 2,4,6 are even

We cannot count the 2 twice, so there are 5 unique possibilities of getting either a green or an even

There are 6 total possibilities when rolling the die 1,2,3,4,5,6

P (green or even) = green or even/ total

= 5/6
