Question

What is the probability of scoring a number less than 5 when you roll a dice?

1/12
1/6
4/6

Answer 1

Answer:

Is this a normal 6 sides dice with the numbers 1, 2, 3, 4, 5 and 6 appearing once on each? If so you need to clarify if 5 inclusive to the number set. I assume you do mean a normal 6 sided dice, numbered 1–6 and 5 not being included, then the probability is 0.67 or 2/3.

Because… 4 numbers are less than 5, so 2 are 5 and higher.

4/6 are under 5, 2/6 are over 5.

Simplified, 2/3 are under 5, 1/3 are not.

2/3 = 0.6666666 recurring 6 which round is 0,67
