Question

Joshua rolls a number cube labeled 1 through 6 once. Determine the theoretical probability expressed as a percent rounded to the nearest percent.

P(multiple of 3) =

Answer 1

Explanation:

17

Answer 2

P(multiple of 3) = 1/3 (fraction)

P(multiple of 3) = (1/3) * 100 = 33.33% (percentage rounded to the nearest percent)

Explanation:

There are two numbers on a cube labeled 1 through 6 that are multiples of 3: 3 and 6.

The total number of possible outcomes is 6 (since there are 6 sides on the cube). So, the probability of rolling a multiple of 3 is calculated as follows:

P(multiple of 3) = (number of favorable outcomes) / (total number of possible outcomes)

P(multiple of 3) = 2/6

P(multiple of 3) = 1/3

To express this probability as a percentage rounded to the nearest percent, multiply the fraction by 100:

P(multiple of 3) = (1/3) * 100 = 33.33%

Rounded to the nearest percent, the probability of rolling a multiple of 3 on a number cube labeled 1 through 6 is 33%.
