Question

A number cubed is rolled. What is the probability that a one or six will be rolled

Answer 1

1/3

Explanation:

A cube by default has 6 sides, and a number cube generally is tallied from 1 - 6 (being the numbers are 1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6).

You are solving for the probability of the numbers 1 or 6 being rolled, which are 2 numbers of the given amount. Change into a fraction form by placing part over the total amount of numbers:

2/6

Most likely, you will be told to simplify. Divide common factors from both the numerator & denominator:

(2/6)/(2/2) = 1/3

1/3 is the probability that a 1 or a 6 is rolled in a standard number cube.

Answer 2

Answer: 1/3

Step-by-step explanation: Since there are six sides to a number cube, the total number of outcomes will be 6.

Since there are 2 favorable outcomes, rolling a 1 or a 6,

the probability of rolling a 1 or a 6 is 2/6 which reduces to 1/3.
