Question

A dice is rolled. What is the probability of getting 5? A. 20% B. 50% C. 16.6% D. 83.3%

Answer 1

C

Explanation:

probability is calculated as ( desired outcome ) ÷ ( total outcomes )

here desired outcome is 5 ( that is one desired outcome )

total outcomes = 1 , 2, 3, 4, 5, 6 ( that is 6 possible outcomes )

then probability (P) is

P =
`(1)/(6)`

to convert to a percentage , multiply the fraction by 100%

P (5 ) =
`(1)/(6)` × 100%

= 0.1666.. × 100%

≈ 16.6%
