Question

A.1
B. 2/3
C.5/6
D.1/3

Answer 1

B

Explanation:

There are 6 values on the faces of a standard number cube, that is

1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6

There are 4 values > 2, that is 3, 4, 5, 6

P( number > 2 ) =
`(4)/(6)` =
`(2)/(3)` → B

Answer 2

B. 2/3

Explanation:

A standard cube has 6 sides, numbered 1 - 6. You are finding the probability (P) of getting a number greater than 2. Note that it says "greater than" not "greater and equal", so you do not count 2 inside the answer.

3, 4, 5, 6, are all greater than 2, and are 4 of the 6 numbers provided. Simplify the fraction:

(4/6)/(2/2) = 2/3

B. 2/3 is your answer.
