Question

• 2. Find the probability that she gets a 5.*

Janet rolls a regular eight-sided die with numbers 1 to 8.
1/5
1/8
5/8
7/8

Answer 1

The correct option is (b).

Explanation:

We need to find the probability of getting 5 when Janet rolls a regular eight-sided die with numbers 1 to 8.

The formula for probability of getting an event is given by :

`P=(Favourable\ outcome)/(Total\ no\ of\ outcomes)`

Here, favourable outcome = 1

Total outcomes = 8

So,

`P=(1)/(8)`

So, the correct option is (b).
