A number cube with numbers 1 through 6 is rolled. Find the given probability.
P(number¡Ý3)
A. 4/6
B. 1/6
C. 2/6
D. 5/6*
inequality sign is garbled.
But P(n≠3) = 5/6
To find the probability of rolling a number greater than or equal to 3 on a number cube with numbers 1 through 6, we need to determine the number of favorable outcomes (outcomes that satisfy the condition) and divide it by the total number of possible outcomes.
Step 1: Determine the number of favorable outcomes.
In this case, the favorable outcomes are the numbers 3, 4, 5, and 6. There are 4 favorable outcomes.
Step 2: Determine the total number of possible outcomes.
The number cube has numbers 1 through 6, so there are 6 possible outcomes.
Step 3: Calculate the probability.
To calculate the probability, divide the number of favorable outcomes by the total number of possible outcomes:
Probability = Number of favorable outcomes / Total number of possible outcomes
Probability = 4 / 6
Simplifying the fraction, we get:
Probability = 2 / 3
So, the probability of rolling a number greater than or equal to 3 is 2/3.
Therefore, the correct answer is C. 2/6.
