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}. Find the probability of rolling a number greater than 10

Answer 1

1/6

Explanation:

There are 12 equally likely outcomes, so the total number of possible outcomes is 12.

There are 2 numbers greater than 10: 11 and 12.

The number of desired outcomes is 2.

p(event) = (number of desired outcomes)/(total number of possible outcomes)

p(greater than 10) = 2/12 = 1/6

Answer 2

2/12

Explanation:

You have 12 possible outcomes. Greater than 10 gives you 2 outcomes. 2/12
