Question

Eugenia rolls a six-sided number cube. What is the probability that she gets anumber greater than 4?

Answer 1

A cube is six sided. The numbers which are greater than 4 in a cube are 5 and 6. So, there are two sides on the cube which has numbers greater than 4.

Hence, the number of desired outcomes, N=2.

Since the cube is six sided, the total number of outcomes, T=6.

So, the probability of getting a number greater than 4 while rolling a cube is,

`P=(N)/(T)=(2)/(6)=(1)/(3)`

Therefore, the probability of getting a number greater than 4 is 1/3.

Option B is correct.
