Consider the experiment of rolling a single die what is the probability of rolling an odd number? I came up with 0.5,even odds as there are 3 odd and 3 even numbers so the prob. is 0.5
Did I do this correct.
yes.
Yes, you calculated the probability correctly. To determine the probability of rolling an odd number on a single die, you need to divide the number of favorable outcomes (odd numbers) by the total number of possible outcomes.
A standard die has six faces, numbered from 1 to 6. Out of these six numbers, three are odd (1, 3, and 5) and three are even (2, 4, and 6). Therefore, the probability of rolling an odd number is 3/6, which can be simplified to 1/2 or 0.5.
So, your answer of 0.5 or even odds is correct.
