Question

When rolling a number cube numbered 1 to 6, how would you describe the chances of rolling a number greater than or equal to 2 versus rolling a number less than 2?A.more likely to roll a number greater than or equal to 2B.more likely to roll a number less than 2C.equally likely eventsD.none of the above

Answer 1

When we roll a cube numbered from 1 to 6, the chances of rolling each of the six numbers are is equally distributed.

So, the chance of rolling a number greater than or equal to 2 is the sum of the chances of rolling any of the numbers 2, 3, 4, 5, or 6.

On the other hand, the chance of rolling a number less than two is the chance of rolling only 1.

Therefore, comparing those two cases, it is:

more likely to roll a number greater than or equal to 2
