Question

You roll a 6 sided die.

What is P(not greater than 3)? Write your answer as a fraction or whole number.

Answer 1

1/2 or 0.5

Explanation:

The probability of rolling a number greater than 3 on a six-sided die is 3/6 or 1/2, since there are three numbers (4, 5, 6) out of six that are greater than 3.

To find the probability of not rolling a number greater than 3, we can subtract the probability of rolling a number greater than 3 from 1:

P(not greater than 3) = 1 - P(greater than 3)

P(not greater than 3) = 1 - 1/2

P(not greater than 3) = 1/2

Therefore, the probability of not rolling a number greater than 3 is 1/2 or 0.5.

Answer 2

1/2

Explanation:

options in a 6 sided die= 1,2,3,4,5,6

greater than 3 = 4,5,6

so three sides out of a 6 sided die is greater than three

P(not greater than 3) =
`(6-3)/(6) = (1)/(2)`
