A number cube with the numbers 1 through 6 is rolled. Find the given probability.
P(number<2)
A.) 1/6
B.) 2/6
C.) 4/6
D.) 3/6
The only number on the number cube that is less than 2 is 1. Therefore, there is only one favorable outcome out of the 6 possible outcomes (1, 2, 3, 4, 5, and 6). Thus, the probability of rolling a number less than 2 is:
P(number<2) = 1/6
So, the correct answer is option A.
To find the probability that the number rolled is less than 2, we need to determine the number of favorable outcomes (rolling a number less than 2) divided by the total number of possible outcomes (rolling any number on the number cube, which is 6).
The numbers that are less than 2 on a number cube are 1. Therefore, there is only 1 favorable outcome.
The total number of possible outcomes is 6 (since a number cube has 6 faces).
So, the probability is 1 favorable outcome out of 6 possible outcomes.
Therefore, the probability that the number rolled is less than 2 is 1/6.
The correct answer is A.) 1/6.
