A single, standard number cube is tossed. What is the probability of getting a number greater than 3?
There are six possible outcomes when rolling a standard number cube: 1, 2, 3, 4, 5, or 6. Out of these six possible outcomes, only two are greater than 3 (4, 5, and 6). Therefore, the probability of getting a number greater than 3 is 2/6 or simplified, 1/3.

There are six possible outcomes when rolling a standard number cube: 1, 2, 3, 4, 5, or 6. Out of these six possible outcomes, five are numbers other than 6 (1, 2, 3, 4, and 5). Therefore, the probability of getting a number other than 6 is 5/6.
A single, standard number cube is tossed. What is the probability of getting a number other than 6?
A.2/3
B.1/2
C.1/6
D.1/2
The correct answer is A. 2/3.
There are six possible outcomes when rolling a standard number cube: 1, 2, 3, 4, 5, or 6. Out of these six possible outcomes, five are numbers other than 6 (1, 2, 3, 4, and 5). Therefore, the probability of getting a number other than 6 is 5/6 or simplified, 2/3.
To find the probability of getting a number greater than 3 when tossing a standard number cube (also known as a six-sided die), we need to determine the number of favorable outcomes and divide it by the total number of possible outcomes.
In a standard number cube, there are six possible outcomes, which are the numbers 1, 2, 3, 4, 5, and 6.
Out of these six outcomes, there are three numbers greater than 3, which are 4, 5, and 6.
Therefore, the number of favorable outcomes is three, and the total number of possible outcomes is six.
To find the probability, we divide the number of favorable outcomes (3) by the total number of possible outcomes (6):
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 standard number cube is 0.5 or 50%.
