Question

You roll a six-sided number cube find theprobabilsty of rolling each of the followingP(1 or 6)

Answer 1

When you roll a six-sided number cube you can get the next set of possible results:

`\lbrace1,2,3,4,5,6\rbrace`

You have a total of 6 possible results.

From the set of possible results you get the set of presults that are 1 or 6:

`\lbrace1,6\rbrace`

You have 2 results that are 1 or 6

The probability of rolling (1 or 6)​ is: The number of results that are 1 or 6 divided in the total number of possible results:

`P(1or6)=(2)/(6)=(1)/(3)`Then, the probability of rolling (1 or 6)​ is 1/3
