Question

The probability of throwing a a number less than 6 with a fair die is

Answer 1

Answer:

p(throwing a no less than 6)=5/6=0.83.

hope it will help

Answer 2

Answer:

P( x < 6) = 5/6

P( x multple of 2) = P( x=2 or 4 or 6) = 3/6

P( x < 6 or x multiple of 2) =P(x<6) + P( x multiple of 2) - P( intersection)

= 5/6 + 3/6 - P(x=2 or 4) = 5/6 + 3/6 - 2/6 = 1

((( common sense tells that the event will happen because x<6 is everything in the sample space except 6 BUT “or a multiple of 2” will bring in x=6…

Therefore the complete required event is composed of x=1.2.3.4.5.6 which is the whole sample space in rolling a die)))
