Question

If a die is rolled one time, find the probability of getting a six. P(6) = ?

Answer 1

Answer:   $\;\;\frac{1}{6} , \;\; 0.16667,\;\; \text{or about}\;\;17\%$

Step-by-step explanation:

   A regular dice has 6 sides, and only one of those sides side has a six.

        We write probability as;

   $\displaystyle \frac{\text{wanted outcomes}}{\text{possible outcomes}} = \frac{\text{number of times six is on the dice}}{\text{number of numberss on the dice}} =\frac{1}{6}$

Answer 2

Hi, there!

 _______

$\boxed{\boxed{\sf{Probability=\dfrac{Favorable \ Outcomes}{Total \ Outcomes}}}}$

Here,

» Favourable Outcome(s) -> getting a 6 on a die (1 outcome),  because only one side of a die has a six on it

» Total Outcomes -> 6 (you can only get 1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6 if you roll one die)

So,

$\sf{Probability_{(6)}=\dfrac{1}{6}}$

Hope the answer - and explanation - made sense to you,

happy studying!!
