Answer:
Step-by-step explanation:
The probability is
P
(
A
)
=
1
3
Step-by-step explanation:
To calculate the probability you have to count the number of all possible results
|
Ω
|
and the number of results that fulfill the given condition
|
A
|
.
In this case
Ω
=
{
1
,
2
,
3
,
4
,
5
,
6
}
Thereare 6 possible result of a dice toss. So
|
Ω
|
=
6
The given condition is "the result is divisible by
3
", so
A
=
{
3
,
6
}
- those are the only numbers divisible by
3
, so
|
A
|
=
2
.
Finally to calculate the probability we have to divide
|
A
|
by
|
Ω
|
.
P
(
A
)
=
|
A
|
|
Ω
|
=
2
6
=
1

Note The probability is never larger than
1
, so if you get such result then there must be a mistake in calculations.
