Question

Find the probability of getting a number less than 5 in a single throw of a die.

Answer 1

The probability of getting a number less than 5
= number of numbers less than 5/total number of numbers
= 4/6
= 2/3

Answer 2

Total number of possible outcomes = 6

Total number of outcomes with a number less than 5 = 4
{The numbers are 1, 2, 3, and 4}

P(a number less than 5) = 4/6 = 2/3

Answer: 2/3
