Answer 1

Answer: A) 1/6

B)5/36

C)5/6

Explanation:

A) is 1/6 because there is only one number that you have to roll out of 6 numbers.

B) is 5/36 because the probability of not rolling a 6 is 5/6. The probability of rolling a 6 is 1/6. You multiply those and get 5/36.

C) is 5/6 because you don't roll a 6 is only one number you don't roll. There are 5 other numbers that you are trying to roll.( AKA: 1,2,3,4, and 5)
