A single, standard cube is tossed. What is the probability of getting a number greater than 3

Ah, the humble cube toss. Well, a standard cube has six sides, numbered from 1 to 6. Out of those numbers, only 4, 5, and 6 are greater than 3. So, the probability of getting a number greater than 3 is 3 out of 6, which can be simplified to 1 out of 2, or 50%. Now, isn't it nice when probability doesn't get too complicated?
A standard cube has six faces numbered from 1 to 6. To find the probability of getting a number greater than 3, we need to determine the number of favorable outcomes (getting a number greater than 3) and divide it by the total number of possible outcomes.
Favorable outcomes: The numbers greater than 3 on a standard cube are 4, 5, and 6. Therefore, there are three favorable outcomes.
Total possible outcomes: Since the cube has six faces, there are six possible outcomes.
Now, we can calculate the probability by dividing the number of favorable outcomes by the number of possible outcomes:
Probability = (Number of favorable outcomes) / (Total number of possible outcomes)
= 3 / 6
= 1 / 2
= 0.5
So, the probability of getting a number greater than 3 when tossing a single, standard cube is 0.5 or 50%.
To find the probability of getting a number greater than 3 when tossing a standard cube, we need to determine the number of favorable outcomes and the total number of possible outcomes.
A standard cube has six faces numbered from 1 to 6. Out of these faces, there are three numbers greater than 3: 4, 5, and 6.
Therefore, the number of favorable outcomes is 3.
The total number of possible outcomes is the number of faces on the cube, which is 6.
To calculate the probability, we divide the number of favorable outcomes by the total number of possible outcomes:
Probability = Number of favorable outcomes / Total number of possible outcomes
Probability = 3 / 6
Probability = 1/2 or 0.5
So, the probability of getting a number greater than 3 when tossing a single, standard cube is 1/2 or 0.5.
1 2 3 4 5 6 six possible and equally likely
4 5 6 three are winners
3/6 = 1/2 = 0.5
