a six sided cubed is rolled. find the probability of p(6)
To find the probability of rolling a 6 on a six-sided die (cubed), you need to determine the total number of possible outcomes and the number of favorable outcomes.
Total number of possible outcomes:
Since the die has six sides, each with a unique number from 1 to 6, there are six possible outcomes when the die is rolled.
Number of favorable outcomes:
There is only one favorable outcome in this case, which is rolling a 6.
Now, you can calculate the probability using the formula:
Probability (P) = Number of Favorable Outcomes / Total Number of Possible Outcomes
Plugging in the values:
P(6) = 1/6
Therefore, the probability of rolling a 6 on a six-sided die is 1/6.
Only one of the six sides has six dots
so
1/6 = .166666 ........
