Question

You roll a fair 6 sided die.

What is P(not 5)
If necessary, round your answer to 2 decimal places.

Answer 1

There are 6 sides total (labeled 1 through 6). Five those sides are not labeled "5", so we have a 5/6 chance of getting something that isn't a 5.

Using a calculator or long division, 5/6 = 0.83333..., where the 3s go on forever. Rounding to 2 decimal places gives the final answer 0.83
