Question

A single fair eight-sided doe is rolled.Find the probability of getting a number less than 6.

Answer 1

The probability of getting a number less than 6 is: 5/8

Step-by-step explanation:

When a 8 sided fair die is rolled the event space is:

S = {1,2,3,4,5,6,7,8}

n(S) = 8

Let A be the event that the number is less than 6

A = {1,2,3,4,5}

n(A) = 5

So,

$P(A) = \frac{n(A)}{n(S)}\\= \frac{5}{8}$

The probability of getting a number less than 6 is: 5/8
