Question

Gavin needs to move up more than 4 spaces to win the game. Is he more likely to win on his next turn? What is the probability that he will not win on his next turn? Explain.

(Question 8)

Answer 1

No, he is LESS LIKELY to win on his next turn.

Explanation:

I assume we are using a standard 6 sided-die, the spaces are 1, 2, 3, 4, 5, and 6. so we have 4 units that are less/equal to 4 ( 1, 2, ,3, 4.)and only 2 units that are more than 4 (5, 6.) so Gavin's chances of wining are 2 out of 6, or 1 third.
