Question

What is the probability of rolling an even number on a 6 sided dice?

Answer 1

Answer:

probability of getting a even number from a 6 slided dice is 1/2

Answer 2

Given:

six-sided dice

To Find:

What is the probability of rolling an even number

Solution:

Probability is defined as how likely is an event to happen from all of the possible outcomes that event has. It lies from 0 to 1. It is generally denoted by P. The formula for finding probability is,

                                     $P=\frac{possible outcomes}{total outcomes}$

In this situation we have a dice being rolled, so all the possible outcomes will be [1,2,3,4,5,6] which is a total of 6 outcomes, now the possible outcomes of getting an even number will be [2,4,6] which is a total of 3 outcomes, now putting the values in the probability formula. we get,

$P=\frac{3}{6} \\=\frac{1}{2}\\=0.5$

so the probability will be 1/2 of getting an even number.

Hence, the probability of getting an even number by rolling dice is 0.5.
