Question

A standard number cube with the numbers 1 through 6 is rolled. Find the probability of rolling a number greater than 2

Answer 1

There is a 2/3 probability. Why? Well, the cube is numbered 1-6 so that is 6 numbers. Out of 6, there are 4 numbers greater than 2. Because of this, there is a 4/6 probability that a number greater than 2 will be rolled. 4/6 reduces to 2/3. As a percentage and decimal, the probability would be 66.66666666% or 0.66666666666 (repeating).
