Question

The odds of rolling a die and getting an even number is 50%. Write out the success set and the sample set to use the definition of probability to show that this is true.

Answer 1

Answer:

It gets more complicated with a six-sided die. In this case if you roll the die, there are 6 possible outcomes (1, 2, 3, 4, 5 or 6). Can you figure out what the theoretical probability for each number is? It is 1/6 or 0.17 (or 17 percent).
