Answer:

4:2 Odds of rolling a number less than 5.


Explanation:

ODDS is defined as probability that event will occur divided by probability that event will not occur.


A six sided die has 6 numbers in total.

  • Numbers less than 5 are: 1,2,3, and 4. In total 4 numbers.
  • Numbers NOT less than 5 are: 5 and 6. In total 2 numbers.

The odds of rolling a number LESS THAN 5 is therefore:

Odds = 4:2

Last answer choice is right.
