A single die is rolled. find the probability of rolling an even number or a number less than 5, what is the probability

Please help me with this question!!

List all the possible outcomes:

1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6
There are 6 of them.

List all the even numbers:
2, 4, 6
There are 3 of them.

So the chance of rolling an even number is 3/6, or 1/2.

Use similar logic for a number less than 5.

( it wasn't clear from your question if you were considering the two situations separately or together).

To find the probability of rolling an even number or a number less than 5 when rolling a single die, we need to determine the favorable outcomes and the total possible outcomes.

Favorable outcomes:
- Even numbers: 2, 4, 6 (three outcomes)
- Numbers less than 5: 1, 2, 3, 4 (four outcomes)

Total possible outcomes:
- A die has six sides, numbered 1 to 6.

Now, we can calculate the probability by dividing the number of favorable outcomes by the total possible outcomes:

Probability = Favorable outcomes / Total possible outcomes

Favorable outcomes = 3 even numbers + 4 numbers less than 5 = 7
Total possible outcomes = 6

Probability = 7 / 6

However, it is important to note that the probability cannot exceed 1. When dealing with mutually exclusive events (such as rolling an even number or a number less than 5), the probability of both events occurring at the same time is 0. Therefore, in this particular case, the probability will be equal to 1.

So, the probability of rolling an even number or a number less than 5 when rolling a single die is 1.
