. A standard number cube with the numbers 1 through 6 is rolled. Find the probability of rolling a number greater than 4. (1 point)
start fraction 1 over 6 end fraction
start fraction 1 over 3 end fraction
start fraction 5 over 6 end fraction
start fraction 2 over 3 end fraction
The probability of rolling a number greater than 4 is 2 out of 6, or simplifying, 1 out of 3.
Therefore, the answer is start fraction 1 over 3 end fraction.
To find the probability of rolling a number greater than 4 on a standard number cube with the numbers 1 through 6, we count the number of favorable outcomes and divide it by the total number of possible outcomes.
The numbers greater than 4 on the number cube are 5 and 6. So there are two favorable outcomes, and the total number of possible outcomes is 6 (since there are six faces on the cube).
Therefore, the probability of rolling a number greater than 4 is:
Number of favorable outcomes / Total number of possible outcomes = 2/6
Simplifying the fraction, we get:
2/6 = 1/3
So, the answer is start fraction 1 over 3 end fraction.
