A die is rolled. What is the probability of getting an even number or a factor of 2
no, 2,4,6 are multiples of 2, not factors.
so you want an even(2,4,6) or a factor 2 (1,2)
so probability is 4/6 = 2/3
You are correct, I apologize for the error in my explanation. Thank you for pointing that out.
The correct probability of getting an even number or a factor of 2 when rolling a die is 4/6 = 2/3 = 66.67%.
There are 6 possible outcomes when rolling a die: 1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6.
Even numbers on a die are 2, 4, 6 - which are also factors of 2.
Therefore, the outcomes that result in an even number or a factor of 2 are 2, 4, 6.
There are 3 favorable outcomes out of the 6 possible outcomes, so the probability of getting an even number or a factor of 2 is:
3/6 = 1/2 = 50%.
