Question

Ice is rolled.Find each probability.

a. P(odd) b.P(even) c.P(prime) d. P(greater than 6)

Answer 1

a) There are 3 even numbers out of the 6 numbers on a die. Therefore the probability here is computed as:

P(odd) = 3/6 = 0.5
Therefore 0.5 is the required probability here.

b) P( even) = 3/6 = 0.5
Therefore 0.5 is the required probability here.

c) The prime numbers out of the 6 numbers are given here as: 2, 3, and 5

Therefore P( prime) = 3/6 = 0.5
Therefore 0.5 is the required probability here.

d) P( greater than 6) = 0 as there is no number greater than 6 here.

Therefore 0 is the required probability here.
