one-half
one-third
To find the probability of getting a number greater than 3 when tossing a single, standard number cube, we need to determine the number of favorable outcomes and the total number of possible outcomes.
The numbers greater than 3 on a standard number cube are 4, 5, and 6. So, there are 3 favorable outcomes.
The total number of possible outcomes on a standard number cube is 6 since it has 6 sides, numbered 1 to 6.
Therefore, the probability of getting a number greater than 3 is given by the ratio of favorable outcomes to total outcomes:
Probability = (Number of favorable outcomes) / (Total number of outcomes)
Probability = 3 / 6
Simplifying the fraction, we get:
Probability = 1/2
So, the probability of getting a number greater than 3 is one-half.
