A dice is thrown at random. Find the probability of getting a number less than 3
3/18 ? Because since there are 6 sides on a dice then ther is a 1/6 chance to get the number 1 and 2 and 3 so if u do 6 x 3 it is 18 and u whatever you do to the denominator u have to do to the numerator so u would do 1 x 3 which is 3 and thats how you would get 3/18 for the percentage you would go 3 divided by 18 multiplied by 100 (3/18 x 100)

choices:
(1,1) (1,2) (2,1)
prob( less than 3) = 3/36 = 1/12
To find the probability of getting a number less than 3 when rolling a fair six-sided die, we need to determine the number of favorable outcomes (getting a number less than 3) and the total number of possible outcomes.
In this case, the favorable outcomes are rolling a 1 or 2, as they both satisfy the condition of being less than 3. The total number of possible outcomes is the number of sides on the die, which is 6.
So, the probability of getting a number less than 3 is given by:
Number of favorable outcomes / Total number of possible outcomes
Since there are 2 favorable outcomes and 6 possible outcomes, the probability is:
2 / 6 = 1 / 3
Therefore, the probability of getting a number less than 3 when throwing the die is 1/3.
