Answer: they are wrong

Step-by-step explanation: there is 6 sides of a die, so there is a 1/6 percent chance and number between 1 and 6

1, 3, 5 = 3/6 = 1/2 = 50%

2, 4, 6 = 3/6 = 1/2+= 50%

Answer: it's wrong

Step-by-step explanation: because there are 6 sides of a die, so there is a 1/6 chance of getting any number between 1 and 6.

reason: this'll help you know how to turn it into a fraction.

Chosen possibility of an action

over (or fraction bar)

total amount of possibilities

so now that you know why, now we find out the possibilities of rolling an odd and even numbers between 1 and 6.

1, 3, 5 = 3/6 = 1/2

2, 4, 6 = 3/6 = 1/2

which means there is 1/2 chance of getting either an even or an odd. so they are incorrect because they are as likely as to not likely to be rolled on.
