Question

You roll a standard number cube. Find P(number greater than 1).

Answer 1

Well if its a standard die then the numbers on the die would be 1,2,3,4,5,6.  Since you want the probability that the number is GREATER than 1, you need to roll a 2,3,4,5, or 6.  Which you have 5 total outcomes that would be successful out of 6.  Makes the probability 5/6 or .833333
