Question

A number cube has sides numbered 1 through 6. The probability of rolling a 2 is à What is the probability of not rolling a 2? Enter your answer as a fraction, in simplest form, in the box

Answer 1

The answer is 5/6.

Took the test and I will provide a screenshot.

Anyway, have a great day :)

Answer 2

P(rolling a 2) = 1/6

P(not rolling a 2) = 5/6

===============================

Reason:

A number cube has 1 side that shows "2" out of 6 sides total. The probability of rolling a "2" is 1/6

The other 5 sides don't have "2" on them, so that's why 5/6 is the probability of not rolling a "2"

The two fractions (1/6 and 5/6) add up to 6/6 = 1 to represent 100% of the possibilities. Either you roll a 2 or you don't.
