Question

You roll a​ six-sided die. Find the probability of each of the following scenarios. ​(a) Rolling a 55 or a number greater than 33 ​(b) Rolling a number less than 55 or an even number

Answer 1

Answer: a)
`(1)/(2)`

b)
`(1)/(3)`

Explanation:

When you roll a six-sided die , then the total number of outcomes = 6

The number greater than 3= 4, 5 ,6

The favorable outcomes of rolling a 5 or a number greater than 3 = 4, 5 ,6

Then , the probability that the rolling a 5 or a number greater than 3 is given by :-

`(3)/(6)=(1)/(2)`

The favorable outcomes for the rolling a number less than 5 or an even number =2, 4

Then the probability that the rolling a number less than 5 or an even number :-

`(2)/(6)=(1)/(3)`
