a number cube with the numbers 1 through 6 is rolled. Find the probability.
2.) p(number>3)
1) Since there are 6 possible outcomes and each outcome has an equal chance of occurring, the probability of rolling any specific number is 1/6.
2) Out of the 6 possible outcomes, there are 3 numbers that are greater than 3 (4, 5, 6). Therefore, the probability of rolling a number greater than 3 is 3/6, or simplified to 1/2.
