Question

On a 6-sided number cube, which is more likely: rolling an odd number or rolling an even number?

Answer choices:

A) rolling an even number
B) the events are equally likely
C) neither is possible
D) rolling an odd number

Answer 1

B. The events are equally likely.

Explanation:

On a 6-sided number cube, there are 3 even numbers (2, 4, 6) and 3 odd numbers (1, 3, 5). There is a 1/2 (3 of 6) chance you will roll an even number, and a 1/2 chance you will roll an odd number. These chances are the same, so B is the answer.

Answer 2

B

Explanation:

Even numbers = 2,4,6

Odd numbers = 1,3,5

Same amount of numbers
