Question

*PLEASE ANSWER ASAP * Taylor is playing a board game with two friends. Using a single die, one friend rolled a one, and the other friend rolled a three. Taylor needs to roll a number higher than both friends in order to win the game, and she wants to calculate her probability of winning. What is the sample space for Taylor’s calculation?

Answer 1

Taylor needs to roll a 4, 5, or 6 to win. (3rd option).

A dice has six numbers that might come up in any roll. Taylor needs one of the three named above in order to win.

She has three chances to win the game with the sides 4, 5, or 6. This is half the amount of all the six sides of a dice that she rolls (1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6).
