Question

Suppose you roll a special 44-sided die. What is the probability that the number rolled is a "1" OR a "2"?

Answer 1

Given that,

You roll a special 44-sided die.

To find the probability that the number rolled is a "1" or a "2"

Total sample space= 44

`n(S)=44`

Probability that the number rolled is a "1" is,

`=(1)/(44)`

Probability that the number rolled is a "2" is,

`=(1)/(44)`

By addition rule we get that,

Probability that the number rolled is a "1" or a "2" is,

`=(1)/(44)+(1)/(44)`
`=(2)/(44)`
`=(1)/(22)`

Answer is:

`=(1)/(22)`
