Question

A fair die is rolled once. What is the probability of obtaining a score of:
a) 4 b)6 c)4 or 6

Explanation and answer needed (please)

Answer 1

Step-by-step explanation:

Probability = No of Given Observations

--------------------------------------

Total No. of Observations

Thus,

P(4) = 1/6

P(6) = 1/6

P(4 or 6) = 2/6 i.e, 1/3

Answer 2

Answer:a. 1/6

b. 1/6

c. 1/3

Step-by-step explanation:

Probability= number of required outcome/ number of possible outcome

For the probability of picking a 4, number of required outcome =1; number of possible outcome =6; so P (4)= 1/6

For the probability of picking a 6, number of required outcome =1; number of possible outcome = y; so P (6)= 1/6

For the probability of picking a 6 OR a 4, number of required outcome =2;number of possible outcome =6; so P (4 or 6) = 2/6 = 1/3 when you reduce the fraction to its lowest term.
