Question

If a die is rolled one time, find the probability of getting a six.
P(6) = ?

Answer 1

Hi, there!

_______

`\boxed{\boxed{\sf{Probability=(Favorable \ Outcomes)/(Total \ Outcomes)}}}`

Here,

» Favourable Outcome(s) -> getting a 6 on a die (1 outcome), because only one side of a die has a six on it

» Total Outcomes -> 6 (you can only get 1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6 if you roll one die)

So,

`\sf{Probability_((6))=(1)/(6)}`

Hope the answer - and explanation - made sense to you,

happy studying!!

Answer 2

Answer:
`\;\;(1)/(6) , \;\; 0.16667,\;\; \text{or about}\;\;17\%`

Explanation:

A regular dice has 6 sides, and only one of those sides side has a six.

We write probability as;

`\displaystyle \frac{\text{wanted outcomes}}{\text{possible outcomes}} = \frac{\text{number of times six is on the dice}}{\text{number of numberss on the dice}} =(1)/(6)`
