Question

A​ 12-sided die is rolled. The set of equally likely outcomes is​ {1,2,3,4,5,6,7,8,9,10,11,12}. Find the probability of rolling an 8.

The probability of rolling an 8 is:

Answer 1

Answer: 1/12

This is because there's one side we want (that's labeled "8") out of 12 sides total. This is of course if each side is equally likely.

Side note: this 12-sided die is known as a dodecahedron.
