Answer:

P=1/2=0.5

Explanation:

To find the probability, you must first find E(Event) and S(Sample space). so

E=3={1,3,5} which are the odd numbers from 1-6.


S=6^(n) where n is the number of dices.

S=6 because there is one dice. So...


P=(E)/(S)\\\\P=(3)/(6)\\\\P=(1)/(2)=0.5

Answer:

1/2 or 0.5

Explanation:

The odd numbers through 1 to 6 are:

1, 3, and 5.

So there are 3 odd numbers out of 6 total faces or numbers.

3/6

Simplify the fraction to the lowest terms.

1/2 = 0.5
