Question

Lin has a die with 6 sides, each labeled 1, 2, 3, 4, 5, and 6. What is the probability that she will roll a 3? *

Answer 1

Answer:

Probability of rolling number 3 = $\frac{1}{6}$

Step-by-step explanation:

Lin has a die with 6 sides.

Each side of the die is labeled with 1, 2, 3, 4, 5 and 6.

Since, probability of rolling any number = $\frac{\text{Favorable event}}{\text{Total number of events}}$

Therefore, probability of rolling number 3 = $\frac{\text{Favorable event}}{\text{Total number of events}}$

Favorable event of getting 3 in single roll = 1

Total events that can happen in one roll = 6

Therefore, probability of rolling number 3 = $\frac{1}{6}$
