Question

ASK YOUR TEACHER A 12-sided die can be made from a geometric solid called dodecahedron. Assume that a fair dodecahedron is rolled. (a) What is the probability of getting a number less than 10 on a single roll

Answer 1

9514 1404 393

Answer:

  3/4

Step-by-step explanation:

Assuming the faces are numbered 1 to 12, there are 9 faces with values less than 10. Since the outcomes are equally probable and mutually exclusive, the probability of any of the 9 is the sum of their individual probabilities:

  P(n < 10) = 9×1/12 = 9/12 = 3/4
