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}. What’s the probability of rolling a 6.

Answer 1

8.33333333%

Explanation:

You have to divide 100 by 12. Then that number is your percentage.

Answer 2

8.3%

Explanation:

There are 12 total events (for the 12 numbers) and one preferred event (for rolling the number 6).

`(preferred)/(total) =(1)/(12) =0.08333333333 = 8.3%`

There should be an 8.3% chance that you would roll six.
