Question

Sauli rolled a fair number cube with 6 sides, each side

numbered 1-6. What is the probability that the number he
rolled was greater than 4?
Hint: How many numbers can he roll that would make this
trial a "success" or a "favorable outcome"?
A. 1/3
B. 1/4
C. 1/2

Answer 1

A:1/3

Explanation:

There are 6 possible outcomes when Sauli rolls the number cube, with each outcome having an equal probability of 1/6. To find the probability of rolling a number greater than 4, we need to count the number of favorable outcomes, which are the numbers 5 and 6.

Therefore, the probability of rolling a number greater than 4 is 2 favorable outcomes out of 6 possible outcomes, which simplifies to 1/3.

So the answer is A. 1/3.
