Answer:


P(Not\ 3) = (5)/(6)

Explanation:

Given


S = \{1,2,3,4,5,6\} --- sample space

Required

P(not 3)

First, we list out all outcomes that are not 3.

We have:


Not\ 3 = \{1,2,4,5,6\} --- 5 possible outcomes


S = \{1,2,3,4,5,6\} ---- 6 total outcomes

So, P(Not 3) is calculated as:


P(Not\ 3) = (n(Not\ 3))/(n(S))


P(Not\ 3) = (5)/(6)
