P(not 7)
A.1/7
B.1/8
C.5/8
D.7/8
I don't understand the question can someone please help
Do you have any other context from previous questions?
Echoing 'Just a gamer', more context is needed to solve this problem.
Of course, I'd be happy to help explain the question to you!
The question is asking for the probability of an event not happening. Specifically, it is asking for the probability of not rolling a 7 on a fair six-sided die.
To find the probability of an event, we need to consider the number of favorable outcomes (the outcomes we want) and the total number of possible outcomes.
For this particular question, we need to determine the number of favorable outcomes (not rolling a 7) and the total number of possible outcomes (all the numbers from 1 to 6).
The number of favorable outcomes is 5, because there are 5 numbers (1, 2, 3, 4, and 6) that are not equal to 7.
The total number of possible outcomes is 6, since there are 6 numbers on the die.
Therefore, the probability of not rolling a 7 (P(not 7)) can be calculated as:
Number of favorable outcomes / Total number of possible outcomes = 5 / 6
So, the correct answer is C. 5/8.
Let me know if you have any further questions!
