Question

What is the probability of rolling an 8 sided die ONCE and getting a 3?

Answer 1

1/8

1) Considering all the possible numbers when we roll a die, in this case, 8 sided die:

1 , 2, 3, 4, 5, 6, 7, 8

2) Since we'll roll it once, we have 1 possibility over 8, therefore we can write:

`P(3)=(1)/(8)`

3) Hence, we have 1/8 as the probability of getting a 3 in this dice, considering that all numbers are equally possible.
