Question

You roll a six-sided die. Find the probability of each of the following scenarios

Answer 1

Answer:

a) $1/2$

b) $5/6$

c) $2/3$

Step-by-step explanation:

a)

Rolling a number greater than 3 means you can roll a 4, 5, or 6, which contains rolling a 6. So, the probability is $(1+1+1)/6=3/6=\boxed{1/2}$

b)

Rolling a number less than 5 means you can roll a 1, 2, 3, or 4, but because you could also roll an even number, so you could also roll a 6.

So, the probability is $(1+1+1+1+1)/6=\boxed{5/6}$

c)

Rolling a 4 or an odd number means you can roll a 1, 3, 5, or 4. So, the probability is $(1+1+1+1)/6=4/6=\boxed{2/3}$
