find the chance of drawing a five or a four in a throw of a die whose faces are numbered 1 to 6.
how to solve
Answers
Answer:
Step-by-step explanation:
possible outcomes are 1,2,3,4,5,6,
number of outcomes = 6
favourable outcomes = 5,4
number of favourable outcomes = 2
probability(chance) = number of favourable outcomes/ number of outcomes
= 2/6
=1/3
Therefore the chance of getting a 4 or a 5 is 1/3.
Given:
A die numbered from 1 to 6.
To Find:
Probability of getting a 5 or a 4.
Solution:
The given question can be solved very easily as shown below.
A die numbered from 1 to 6 is rolled once.
Total possibilities: 1, 2, 3, 4, 5, and 6
Total number of outcomes = 6
Favorable outcomes: 4 or 5
Total number of favorable outcomes = 2
Now the probability of getting 4 or 5 = ( Total number of favorable outcomes )/( Total number of favorable outcomes )
⇒ Probability of getting 4 or 5 = 2/6 = 1/3
Therefore the chance of getting a 4 or a 5 is 1/3.
