Question

g The probability of rolling a single die and obtaining a two is one-sixth. The probability of rolling a single die and obtaining a five is one-sixth. What is the probability of rolling a single die and obtaining either a two or a five

Answer 1

33.33% or
`(2)/(6)`

Explanation:

A single die has a total of six different possible outcomes (1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6). Since the numbers two and five are only two of the six possible outcomes that means that the possibility of getting one of these two numbers on a single roll is
`(2)/(6)` . If we divide this fraction and multiply the result by 100 (0.333 * 100 = 33.33) we see that there is a 33.33% chance of you rolling either a two or a five.
