Hang on PsyDAG i will tell you the answers
To find the probability of getting a number greater than 3 when tossing a standard number cube, we need to determine the number of favorable outcomes (number greater than 3) and the total number of possible outcomes.
The total number of possible outcomes when tossing a standard number cube is 6 because there are 6 faces on the cube, numbered 1 to 6.
The favorable outcomes (numbers greater than 3) are 4, 5, and 6.
Therefore, the probability of getting a number greater than 3 is 3 out of 6.
In simplified form, the probability is 1/2.
So, the correct answer is D. 1/2.
