A single, six-sided die is rolled. Find the probability of rolling an odd number or a number less than 6.
There are 6 possible outcomes when rolling a single, six-sided die: 1, 2, 3, 4, 5, or 6.
There are 3 odd numbers: 1, 3, and 5.
There are 5 numbers less than 6: 1, 2, 3, 4, and 5.
To find the probability of rolling an odd number or a number less than 6, we need to find the total number of favorable outcomes, which is the combination of the odd numbers and the numbers less than 6. In this case, there are 1, 3, 5, and 2, 4, 5, which means there are 6 favorable outcomes.
The probability is then favorable outcomes divided by total outcomes, which is 6/6.
Therefore, the probability of rolling an odd number or a number less than 6 is 1.
To find the probability of rolling an odd number or a number less than 6, we need to calculate the number of favorable outcomes and divide it by the total number of possible outcomes.
Let's start by determining the total number of possible outcomes. Since we have a six-sided die, the total number of outcomes is 6.
Next, we need to calculate the number of favorable outcomes, which includes rolling an odd number or a number less than 6.
For odd numbers, we have 3 possibilities: 1, 3, and 5.
For numbers less than 6, we already considered odd numbers, so the only remaining possibility is 6 itself.
Therefore, the number of favorable outcomes is 3 + 1 = 4.
Now, we can calculate the probability by dividing the number of favorable outcomes by the total number of outcomes:
Probability = (Number of favorable outcomes) / (Total number of outcomes)
Probability = 4 / 6
Simplifying, we get:
Probability = 2 / 3
Hence, the probability of rolling an odd number or a number less than 6 is 2/3.
To find the probability of rolling an odd number or a number less than 6, we need to determine the possible outcomes that satisfy either condition.
There are six possible outcomes when rolling a six-sided die, namely 1, 2, 3, 4, 5, and 6.
Out of these outcomes, three are odd numbers (1, 3, and 5) and five are numbers less than 6 (1, 2, 3, 4, and 5).
To calculate the probability, we add the number of outcomes that satisfy either condition (odd number or number less than 6) and divide it by the total number of possible outcomes.
Number of outcomes that satisfy either condition = 3 + 5 = 8
Total number of possible outcomes = 6
Therefore, the probability of rolling an odd number or a number less than 6 is 8/6 or 4/3.
