Answer: 0.50 is the correct option

Explanation:

Probability = number of possible outcomes/ total number of outcomes

Total number of outcomes when cube is numbered 1 to 6 is rolled once is 6: [1, 2,3,4,5,6]

Number of Possible outcome to roll a number divisible by 2 is represented by the even numbers in the data set is 3: [2, 4, 6]

Probability that a number divisible by two is rolled = 3/6

Then convert to decimal by dividing 3 through 6= 0.5

I hope this helps.

The required probability is 0.50.

Explanation:

Given condition:

A cube number with 1 to 6 is rolled.

To find:

The probability of the number that is divisible by 2

Formula:

P( an event) = (number of required outcome)รท ( total number of outcomes)

If we roll a cube possible outcomes are 1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6 = 6 times

The numbers that is divisible by 2 are = 2, 4, 6 = 3 times

Hence,

The probability =
(3)/(6) =
(1)/(2)

= 0.50

Thus the probability that the resultant number in the cube divisible by 2 is 0.50
