What is the probablity a number cube will stop ona number less than 6?
well, how many numbers on a cube are less than 6 ??
To calculate the probability of a number cube landing on a number less than 6, we need to determine the favorable outcomes (the numbers less than 6) and the total possible outcomes (all the numbers on the cube).
In this case, the favorable outcomes are all the numbers less than 6: 1, 2, 3, 4, and 5. There are 5 favorable outcomes.
The total possible outcomes on a number cube are the numbers from 1 to 6.
So, the probability of landing on a number less than 6 can be determined by dividing the number of favorable outcomes by the total number of possible outcomes:
Probability = Favorable Outcomes / Total Possible Outcomes
Probability = 5 / 6
Hence, the probability of a number cube landing on a number less than 6 is 5/6 or approximately 0.8333.
