Question

What is the probability, rounded to the nearest hundredth as a decimal, of rolling a 2 on a fair six-sided die when rolled once?

A) 0.33
B) 0.17
C) 0.50
D) 0.83

Answer 1

The probability of rolling a 2 on a fair six-sided die is 1/6, which as a decimal rounded to the nearest hundredth is 0.17. Therefore, the correct answer is option B) 0.17.

Step-by-step explanation:

The question asks about the probability of rolling a 2 on a fair six-sided die when rolled once. Since there are six sides on a die, each outcome (rolling a 1, rolling a 2, rolling a 3, and so on) is equally likely. Therefore, the probability of rolling a 2 is 1 divided by the number of sides on the die, which is 6 in this case. When we calculate this, we get:

P(rolling a 2) = 1/6

To express this as a decimal rounded to the nearest hundredth, we perform the division:

1 divided by 6 is approximately 0.1667

When rounded to the nearest hundredth, this is 0.17, which corresponds to option B) 0.17.
