Question

A probability experiment consists of rolling a 6 sided die. Find the probability of rolling a number less then 6. Round to three decimals

Answer 1

Given:

A 6 sided die is rolled.

`S=\mleft\lbrace1,2,3,4,5,6\mright\rbrace`
`n(s)=6`

Let A be the event of getting a number less than 6.

`n(A)=5`
`P(A)=(n(A))/(n(S))`
`P(A)=(5)/(6)`
`P(A)=0.833`

Therefore, probability of getting a number less than 6 is 0.833
