Given:

A 6 sided die is rolled.

To find:

The probability of getting not 5, i.e., P( not 5).

Solution:

If a 6 sided die is rolled, then the possible outcomes are 1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6.

Total outcomes = 6

Favorable outcomes = Possible numbers other than 5 = 5

Now,


P(\text{ not 5})=\frac{\text{Favorable outcomes}}{\text{Total outcomes}}


P(\text{ not 5})=(5)/(6)


P(\text{ not 5})=0.8333...


P(\text{ not 5})\approx 0.83

Therefore, the probability of getting not 5, i.e., P( not 5) is 0.83.
