Question

A dice is rolled. Find the
probability of getting a
number between 2 and 5
(including 2 and 5).

Answer 1

Answer:

2/3

Step-by-step explanation:

No. of possible outcomes (1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6) = 6

No. of favorable outcomes (2, 3, 4, 5) = 4

Probability = No. of favorable outcomes/No. of possible outcomes

                  = 4/6

                  = 2/3

Hope this helps!

Answer 2

Given:

A dice is rolled. Find the probability of getting a number between 2 and 5 (including 2 and 5).

To find:

The probability of getting a number between 2 and 5 (including 2 and 5)

Solution:

• Probability tells the possibility of an event to occur. It always lies between 0 and 1.

• The formula to find the probability of an event happening is:

$\frac{Number\: of\: favourable\: outcomes}{Total\:number\: of \:outcomes\:possible}$

So, number of favourable outcomes: 4 ( numbers between 2 and 5 including 2 and 5)

Total number of outcomes possible: 6 (as a dice has 6 faces)

The probability = $\frac{4}{6} = \frac{2}{3}$

Thus, the probability of getting a number between 2 and 5  (including 2 and 5) is $\frac{2}{3}$ !
