Question

A number cube is rolled. What is the probability that the cube lands on an odd number.

Answer 1

The probability of rolling an odd number is 5/6

Explanation:

probability: desired/all

Let's find the possible outcomes of rolling odd.

1,3,5 are all odd. We have 3 outcomes.

Now find the possible outcome of a power of 2.

2 is

2

1

, 4 is

2

2

. We have 2 DIFFERENT outcomes.

(If these outcomes overlapped, we would have to subtract to get unique outcomes. In this case, these outcomes are different)

Now, we find the total number of possible outcomes.

A dice has 6 different outcomes.

Now add up the desired outcomes,

3 + 2 = 5

and so the probability is

5/6

Answer 2

1/3 or 3/6 they are the same thing
