Question

Betty has several of the standard six-sided dice that are common in many board games. If Betty rolls one of these dice, what is the probability that: She rolls a three. She rolls an odd number. She rolls a six or odd number.

Answer 1

Answer:

The probability of rolling a 3 is 1/6 because there's only one 3 out of the 6 options that are on a standard die.

The probability of rolling an odd number is 3/6 or 1/2 because 3 out of the 6 numbers on a standard die (1, 3, 5) are odd.

The probability of rolling a six or odd number is 4/6 or 2/3 because out of the 6 numbers on a standard die, there's one 6 and 3 odd numbers and 1 + 3 = 4.
