I can't find help for this one; explain.
You roll a standard number cube. Find P(number less than 3). (1 point)
1/3
2/3
3/2
5/6
2/3
To find the probability of getting a number less than 3 when rolling a standard number cube, we need to determine the number of favorable outcomes (numbers less than 3) and divide it by the total number of possible outcomes.
A standard number cube has 6 faces, numbered 1 to 6.
The favorable outcomes in this case are the numbers 1 and 2, as they are less than 3. So we have 2 favorable outcomes.
The total number of possible outcomes is 6, as there are 6 faces on the cube.
Now we can calculate the probability:
P(number less than 3) = Number of favorable outcomes / Total number of possible outcomes
= 2 / 6
Simplifying the fraction, we get:
P(number less than 3) = 1/3
Therefore, the probability of rolling a number less than 3 on a standard number cube is 1/3.
