Question

You roll a number cube. What are the odds that you will roll an even number?

Answer 1

Thus, 1/2 * 1/6 = 1/12 is the probability.

Explanation:

The probability of rolling an even number on a six sided die is 3/6, or 1/2. The probability of rolling a four on a six sided die is 1/6. 1/2 * 1/6 = 1/12 or .083 repeating.

Answer 2

Answer: 50% or 1/2

Step-by-step explanation: Probability is the likelihood that an event will happen. We can find the probability of an event using the ratio shown.

In this problem, we want the probability of rolling an even number or P (4). This means that the even numbers which are 2, 4, and 6 are favorable outcomes.

Since there are 3 even numbers on the dice, there are 3 favorable outcomes. It's equally possible to roll an even number as it is to roll an odd number because there are the same amount of even numbers and off numbers on the dice.

Therefore, the probability of rolling an even number is 50%
