Question

These are the sides of a number cube used in a game.

1 2 3 4 5 6

Sam will win the game he is playing if he gets a number less than 3 the next time he rolls the number cube. What is the probability that Sam will win the game on his next roll?

f.1/2 g.1/6 h.2/3 j.1/3

Answer 1

There are two sides that have a number less than 3: 1 and 2. There are a total of six sides. Therefore, the probability of Sam winning the game on his next roll is 2/6 or simplified, 1/3. The answer is j. 1/3.
