Question

An 8-sided die with numbers from 1 to 8 is rolled. What is the probability that a 4 is rolled? Write your answer as an exact fraction which is reduced as much as possible.

Answer 1

Since it is an 8 sided dice

We have a sample space of 8 possible results 1,2,3,4,5,6,7,8

Just 4 is our favorable event, i.e. 1 possibility

Then we can write

P (4) = 1/8
