Question

Find the probability of the event.If a single die is tossed once, find the probability of the following event. Rolling a 6

Answer 1

1/6

Step-by-step explanation

If we have a fair die and we toss it only once, then the probability of getting any of the numbers is the same,

`P(one.number)=(\#favorable.outcomes)/(\#total.outcomes)`

The die has 6 faces, so the total number of outcomes is 6 and the number of favorable outcomes is always 1, since the numbers on the die don't repeat,

`P(six)=(1)/(6)`

Hence, the probability of rolling a 6 is 1/6.
