Hello! So if I had a problem like,
A ten-sided dice with numbers 1-10 is rolled. Find the given Probability.
P(number<3)
Would I need to solve for the probability of rolling 3, or the probability of rolling a number less than 3?
Thank you!
yes, p of 1 + p of 2
Thank you!
To find the probability of rolling a number less than 3 on a ten-sided dice with numbers 1-10, you would need to calculate the probability of rolling a 1 or a 2.
To solve this, you can divide the number of favorable outcomes (rolling a 1 or a 2) by the total number of possible outcomes (10 in this case).
The probability of rolling a number less than 3 can be found using the formula:
P(number < 3) = (Number of favorable outcomes) / (Total number of possible outcomes)
In this case, the number of favorable outcomes is 2 (rolling a 1 or a 2) and the total number of possible outcomes is 10 (numbers 1-10 on the dice).
Therefore, the probability of rolling a number less than 3 is:
P(number < 3) = 2/10 = 1/5 = 0.2
So, the probability of rolling a number less than 3 is 0.2 or 20%.
