A standard number cube with the numbers 1 through 6 is rolled. Find the probability of rolling a number greater than 4

Two numbers are greater than 4.

2/6 = 1/3

To find the probability of rolling a number greater than 4 on a standard number cube, we need to determine the number of favorable outcomes and the total number of possible outcomes.

In this case, the favorable outcomes are the numbers 5 and 6 since these are the numbers greater than 4.

The total number of possible outcomes is 6, as there are 6 numbers on the cube (1, 2, 3, 4, 5, and 6).

Therefore, the probability of rolling a number greater than 4 can be calculated as:

Number of Favorable Outcomes / Total Number of Possible Outcomes.

So, the probability is 2/6 or 1/3.

To check this, you can divide the numbers greater than 4 (which are 5 and 6) by the total number of possible outcomes (which is 6):

2 / 6 = 1 / 3.

Hence, the probability of rolling a number greater than 4 is 1/3.
