Question

When rolling a single die, what is the probability of rolling a 2 or 6? Give ur answer as a percent , round to the nearest whole number if necessary.

Answer 1

Step-by-step explanation

We are asked to get the probability of rolling either a 2 or 6 in a single dice

To do so, we will make use of the probability definition:

Probability simply means the ratio of possible outcomes to the total number of outcomes

In our case

we have a dice, so the total outcome will be {1,2,3,4,5,6}

to roll a 2, the possible outcome is {2}

to roll a 6, the possible outcome is {6}

Thus, the probability of rolling a 2 will be

`(1)/(6)`

The probability of rolling a 6 will be

`(1)/(6)`

Therefore, the probability of rolling a 2 or 6

`\begin{gathered} P=(1)/(6)+(1)/(6) \\ \\ P=(1+1)/(6)=(2)/(6)=(1)/(3) \end{gathered}`

In per cent, we will have

`(1)/(3)*100=33.33\text{ \%}`

To the nearest whole number, we will have 33%
