Answer:
P (greater than 3) = 1/2
Step-by-step explanation:
A standard number cube has 6 sides, numbered 1 through 6.
We want to find the probability of rolling a number greater than 3. To find this probability, create a fraction. The numerator is the amount of numbers greater than 3 and the denominator is the total amount of numbers.
P(greater than 3)= numbers greater than 3/ total numbers
There are 3 numbers that are greater than 3 (4, 5 and 6).
There are 6 total numbers (1, 2, 3, 4, 5, and 6)
P (greater than 3) = 3/6
This fraction can be simplified. Both the numerator and denominator can be divided by 3.
P (greater than 3) = (3/3) / (6/3)
P (greater than 3)= 1/ (6/3)
P(greater than 3) = 1/2
The probability of rolling a number greater than 3 is 1/2.
