Question

What is the probability of a regular die, when rolled, showing a two digit number? Give your answer as a fraction in lowest terms.

Answer 1

`Probability = 0`

Explanation:

Given:

A regular die

Required

The probability of obtaining a 2 digit in 1 roll

First, the possible outcomes has to be listed; This is referred to as Sample Space (S);

The Sample Space is as follows

`S = (1,2,3,4,5,6)`

`Total, n(S) = 6`

Let T represent the outcomes showing two digit such that n(T) represent the number of outcomes showing two digit

Since there's no two digit in the sample space;

T = {}

`n(T) = 0`

The probability is then calculated as follows;

`Probability = (n(T))/(n(S))`

`Probability = (0)/(6)`

`Probability = 0`
