Question

A probability experiment consists of rolling a fair 16​-sided die. Find the probability of the event below of rolling a 5.

Answer 1

The probability of the event below of rolling a 5 is 0.0625.

Explanation:

Given is : A probability experiment consists of rolling a fair 16​-sided die. Find the probability of the event below of rolling a 5.

Total number of faces = 16

So, there is only one way for rolling a 5 on a die

And the probability of rolling a 5 on a die =
`(1)/(16)`

= 0.0625

Answer 2

Lets first consider how many different possibilities there are: 16 sided die means it has 16 different numbers.

Only one of the numbers is 5, so the probability is 1 out of 16 also written as: 1/16.

So the probabilty of rolling a 5 is 1/16.

Muchas luck on your math!
