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 less than 5 is

Answer 1

in this case, we are given with a dice with 12 sides. It is asked in the problem to give the probability of having a number less than 5. since there are 4 numbers less than 5, then the probability is 4/12 or 1/3 in lowest terms. this is equal to 0.33. 

Answer 2

The probability that the number cube lands on a number less than 5 is

1/3=0.33

Explanation:

sample space of rolling a 12-sided number cube with the numbers 1 through 12 is:

{1,2,3,4,5,6,7,8,9,10,11,12}

A: event that the number cube lands on a number less than 5

={1,2,3,4}

P(A)= number of favorable outcomes/total number of outcomes

= 4/12

= 1/3

= 0.33

Hence, the probability that the number cube lands on a number less than 5 is

1/3=0.33
