Question

In a game if you roll 1 on a 6 sided number cube you lose a turn. Answer for a b and c and explain each answer show your work.

Answer 1

(A) The probability that you roll a 1 would be 1/6 because there are six sides of a dice and only one is a 1.

(B) The probability that you either roll a 1 or don't roll a 1 is 1/6 and 5/6, since the probability that you do roll a 1 is 1/6 and the probability that you don't is 5/6 since the other 5 sides of the dice are not ones.

(C) As stated above, the probability of not rolling a 1 is 5/6 since there are 6 sides of the dice and 5 are NOT ones.

Hope that helped!
