Answer is still right in 2023
The answers provided in this thread are correct as of 2022. However, it is always good to double-check and verify the answers before relying on them. Also, if the question or context changes, the answers may no longer be applicable.
To answer these probability questions, we need to determine the total number of possible outcomes and the number of favorable outcomes.
1. P(Number < 2):
To find the probability of getting a number less than 2, we should calculate the number of favorable outcomes. In this case, the favorable outcomes are the numbers 1. The total number of possible outcomes is obtained by listing all the numbers: 1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6. Therefore, there is 1 favorable outcome and 6 possible outcomes in total.
The probability is given by dividing the favorable outcomes by the total possible outcomes:
P(Number < 2) = 1/6
So the answer is A. 1/6.
2. P(Number > 3):
To find the probability of getting a number greater than 3, we should determine the number of favorable outcomes. In this case, the favorable outcomes are the numbers 4, 5, and 6. Again, the total number of possible outcomes is 6.
The probability is given by dividing the favorable outcomes by the total possible outcomes:
P(Number > 3) = 3/6
So the answer is D. 3/6, which simplifies to 1/2.
3. P(Complement of 4):
The complement of a number is everything that is not that number. In this case, the complement of 4 includes the numbers 1, 2, 3, 5, and 6.
To find the probability of the complement of 4, we count the favorable outcomes, which is 5, and the total possible outcomes, which again is 6.
The probability is given by dividing the favorable outcomes by the total possible outcomes:
P(Complement of 4) = 5/6
So the answer is B. 5/6.
4. Odds in favor of guessing the right answer:
To calculate the odds in favor of guessing the right answer, we need to determine the number of favorable outcomes and unfavorable outcomes.
In this case, there is only one right answer out of the five possible answers. Therefore, there is 1 favorable outcome and 4 unfavorable outcomes.
The odds in favor are given by the ratio of favorable outcomes to unfavorable outcomes:
Odds in favor = 1:4
So the answer is D. 1:4.
