If a die is rolled one time, find these probabilities.
Getting a number greater then 6.
Getting a number less then it equal to 0.
Getting a number greater then 5 and an even number.
Zero, zero and 1/6
To find the probabilities for each scenario, we need to understand the total number of possible outcomes and the number of favorable outcomes.
1. Getting a number greater than 6:
In a standard die, the numbers range from 1 to 6, so there are no outcomes greater than 6. Therefore, the probability of getting a number greater than 6 is 0.
2. Getting a number less than or equal to 0:
In a standard die, the numbers range from 1 to 6, so there are no outcomes less than 1. Therefore, the probability of getting a number less than or equal to 0 is 0.
3. Getting a number greater than 5 and an even number:
Outcomes greater than 5: There is only one face on the die that satisfies this condition, which is 6.
Even numbers: There are three even numbers on a die - 2, 4, and 6.
To find the probability of getting a number greater than 5 and an even number, we need to find the common outcome, which is 6. Thus, there is one favorable outcome (6) out of six possible outcomes (1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6). Therefore, the probability is 1/6.
In summary:
1. Probability of getting a number greater than 6: 0
2. Probability of getting a number less than or equal to 0: 0
3. Probability of getting a number greater than 5 and an even number: 1/6
Good grief!
the outcomes are 1,2,3,4,5, or 6
How many of these are greater than 6 ??
how many of these are less than zero ???
How many are greater than 5 and happen to be even ???
The probability of each of your questions
= whatever the answer / 6
