Question

You roll a 6-sided die.what is p(even or divisor of 3)?simplify your answer and write it as a fraction or whole number.

Answer 1

Answer: 5/6

Explanation:

probabilities = possibilities/outcome

To get an even you can possible roll 2, 4, 6 with 6 total outcomes

P(even) = probability of getting an even = 3/6

To get a divisor of 3: only 3 and 6 can be divided by 3

P(divisor of 3)=2/6

Because of the or in the statement, you add the 2 probabilities

P(even or divisor of 3) = 3/6+2/6 = 5/6
