Question

What is the probability of rolling a number greater than 1? Type a fraction and simplifyA single fair die is tossed. Find the probability of rolling a number greater than 1. Type a fraction and simplify .

Answer 1

We are told that a single die is tossed :

• Therefore , possible outcomes / sample space { 1,2,3,4,5,6} = n(s) = 6 .

,

• A probability of rolling number greater > than 1 {2,3,4,5,6} = 5.

,

• This means that the probability of rolling a number greater that 1 is :

P = 5/6

= 0.83
