A die is rolled once.What is the probability of getting the number 5
To determine the probability of rolling a specific number on a fair six-sided die, we need to find the number of favorable outcomes (rolling a 5) and divide it by the total number of possible outcomes (rolling any number from 1 to 6).
In this case, we have one favorable outcome (rolling a 5) and six possible outcomes (rolling any number from 1 to 6) since the die has six sides.
So, the probability of rolling a 5 is:
Number of favorable outcomes / Total number of possible outcomes
1 / 6
Therefore, the probability of rolling a 5 on a fair six-sided die is 1/6 or approximately 0.1667 (or 16.67%).
