Your teacher puts numbers 1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6, 7, 8, 9, 10, 11 and 12 in a hat and asks you to draw a number. What's the probability that you will draw either a 4 or a 6?
A. 1/12
B. 2/12
C. 4/12
D. 6/12
There are 2 favorable outcomes (4 and 6) out of a total of 12 possible outcomes.
Therefore, the probability of drawing either a 4 or a 6 is 2/12 which simplifies to 1/6.
The correct answer is B. 1/6.
