Rolling a number cube once what is the
Probability of rolling a number greater than 4 ?
two of the six numbers are greater than four, so
2/6
To find the probability of rolling a number greater than 4 on a number cube, we need to determine both the number of favorable outcomes and the total number of possible outcomes.
In this case, the number cube can have six equally likely outcomes, which are the numbers 1, 2, 3, 4, 5, and 6. We are interested in the numbers greater than 4, which are 5 and 6.
The favorable outcomes are 5 and 6, and there are two of them. So, the probability of rolling a number greater than 4 is 2 out of 6.
To express this as a simplified fraction, we can divide both the numerator and denominator by their greatest common divisor, which is 2:
2/6 = 1/3.
Therefore, the probability of rolling a number greater than 4 on a number cube is 1/3.
