Answer:

the probability of rolling a number less than 7 when rolling an 8-sided die is 0.75 or 75%.

Explanation:

In this case, the favorable outcomes are numbers 1, 2, 3, 4, 5, and 6. These are the numbers less than 7 that can be rolled on the die.

The total possible outcomes are the numbers 1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6, 7, and 8. These are all the numbers on the 8-sided die.

Therefore, the probability of rolling a number less than 7 is determined by dividing the number of favorable outcomes (6) by the total possible outcomes (8).

Probability = Favorable outcomes / Total possible outcomes

= 6 / 8

= 3 / 4

= 0.75
