Question

When rolling a fair, eight-sided number cube, determine P(number greater than 5).

0.125
0.375
0.17
0.25

Answer 1

Answer:
= 0.375

Explanation:

There are eight possible outcomes when rolling an eight-sided number cube, each with equal probability of occurring if the cube is fair. Since we want to find the probability of rolling a number greater than 5, we need to count the number of outcomes that satisfy this condition.

There are three numbers on the cube that are greater than 5: 6, 7, and 8.

Therefore, the probability of rolling a number greater than 5 is 3/8, or 0.375.

So, the answer is 0.375.
