Question

You roll a number cube numbered form 1 to 6 what is the probability that the number is divisible by 2

Answer 1

1/2

Explanation:

Probability is essentially (# times a specific event occurs) / (# times the general event occurs).

Here, the specific event is rolling a number that is divisible by 2. The numbers divisible by 2 from 1 to 6 are 2, 4, and 6. Since there are 3 such numbers, the specific event can occur 3 times.

The general event is simply rolling any number. Because there are 6 numbers we can roll, the number of times the general event can occur is 6.

So, the probability is 3/6 = 1/2.

Answer 2

The probability is 1/2 or 50%

Explanation:

We have 3 numbers that are divisible by 2 (2, 4, 6)

We find the probability by dividing the favorable results (3) by the # of all results (6).

3/6=1/2=0.5=50%
