Question

What is the probability that 1 or 2 are rolled on a number cube with sides numbered 1, 2, 3, 4,

Answer 1

Answer: $\frac{1}{3}$

Step-by-step explanation:

total sides = 6

p (rolling a 1) = $\frac{1}{6}$

p (rolling a 2) = $\frac{1}{6\\}$

Note:

or - add

and - multiply

∴ $\frac{1}{6} +\frac{1}{6} = \frac{2}{6}$

∴ $\frac{2}{6} = \frac{1}{3}$

hence, p (rolling a 1 or 2) = $\frac{1}{3}$
