Question

A dose ahedral die (one with 12 sides numebered from 1 to 12) is tossed once. Find the following probability.

The number on the upward face is not 8

Answer 1

The probability that the number on the upward face of the 12-sided die is not 8 is 11/12 or approximately 0.917.

Step-by-step explanation:

To find the probability that the number on the upward face of the 12-sided die is not 8, we need to determine the number of favorable outcomes and the total number of possible outcomes.

The die has 12 sides, so there are 12 possible outcomes.

However, we want to exclude the outcome of 8, which means there are 11 favorable outcomes.

The probability is calculated as the number of favorable outcomes divided by the total number of outcomes, so the probability is 11/12 or approximately 0.917.
