Question

A fair number cube, numbered from 1 to 6, is rolled. What is the probability that the number is some number other than 6?1/25/61/31/6

Answer 1

5/6 (option B)

Step-by-step explanation:

Total numbers from 1-6 = 6

Probability of rolling a 6 = number of times 6 occurs/total number

number of times 6 occurs = 1

Probability of rolling a 6 = 1/6

To get Probability of rolling some other number other than 6, we would subtract Probability of rolling a 6 from 1

Probability of rolling some other number other than 6 = 1 - 1/6

`\begin{gathered} (1)/(1)-(1)/(6)=(6-1)/(6) \\ =\text{ 5/6} \end{gathered}`

Probability of rolling some other number other than 6 = 5/6 (option B)
