Question

A 12-sided number cube with the numbers 1 through 12 is rolled.

Select from the drop-down menu to correctly complete the statement.

Rounded to the nearest hundredth, the probability that the number cube lands on a number greater than 10 is .
0.17
0.25
0.75
0.83

Answer 1

Total number of possible outcomes = 12
Total number of favourable outcomes (i.e. greater than 10) = 2

P(greater than 10) = 2/12 = 0.17

Answer: 0.17

Answer 2

Hello!

You are finding the probability that you will roll a number greater than 10

You do this by doing the amount of favorable outcomes over the total amount of outcomes

There are 2 numbers greater than 10

There are 12 total numbers

This is a probability of 2/12

2/12 = 0.17

The answer is A)0.17

Hope this helps!
