Question

A probability experiment consists of rolling a fair 6-sided die. Find the probability of the event below. Rolling a number greater than 5.

Answer 1

The possible outcomes when you roll a fair 6-sided dice are 1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6.

The total number of outcomes is 6.

Now, the probability of rolling a number greater than 5 is:

`(1)/(6)\approx0.167`

Because just 6 is greater than 5 and it is 1 of the 6 possibilities.

The answer is 1/6=0.167=16.7%
