Question

1. What is the probability of an odd outcome?

2. What is the probability of an outcome less than 6?

Answer 1

1. 50%

2.
`(5)/(6)`

Explanation:

1. The way to approach the probability of rolling an odd number is to start with the total numbers. Therefore, each dice has three even sides and three odd sides. Mathematically - 50% chance of landing on the odd number.

2. You have 'P' which represents probability. "N" which is the given ratio of the number of outcome. (NP) total number of the possible outcome.

P = N / NP

Dice has 6 faces. I.E. 1,2,3,4,5,6

= 6

NP, therefore, is the total number of possible outcome.

Faces less than 6. (1,2,4, and 5)

N = 5

P = N / NP =
`(5)/(6)` ; it can't be reduced.
