Question

what is the probability of getting a number less than 2 or a prime number upon rolling a six-sided die? a.) 1 half b.) 2 over 3 c.) 1 third d.) 5 over 6

Answer 1

b) 2/3

Explanation:

For a 6-sided die

total number of numbers: 6

numbers less than 2: 1

prime numbers: 2, 3, 5

total number of desired outcomes: 1 + 3 = 4

p(less than 2 or prime) = 4/6 = 2/3
