Question

A number cube was designed to land on the number 6 more frequently than a standard number cube. What could be the probability of rolling a 6 with this number cube?

A. 1/4

B. 1/8

C. 1/12

D. 1/6

Answer 1

Explanation:

Standard cube rolling a 6 has a 1/6 probability or 0.1667

if a cube was designed (ie weighted) to come up more often the probability of rolling a 6 would be HIGHER than the standard cube

Which of the four given answers has a HIGHER probaility value?

1/4 0.25 > 0.1667

1/8 0.125 < 0.1667

1/12 0.0833 < 0.1667

1/6 0.1667 = 0.1667

Which answer is greater than 0.01667?
