Question

Roll a 6-sided die. If you roll a 1 or a 2, you win 6. If you roll a 3, 4, 5, or a 6, you lose 6. What is the probability of winning?

1) 1/3
2) 1/6
3) 1/2
4) 2/3

Answer 1

The probability of winning is 1/3.

Step-by-step explanation:

To find the probability of winning, we need to determine the number of favorable outcomes and divide it by the total number of possible outcomes. In this case, the favorable outcomes are rolling a 1 or a 2, which results in a win of 6. The total number of possible outcomes is 6 since we are rolling a 6-sided die. Therefore, the probability of winning is 2/6 or 1/3.
