What is the probability of rolling on a single die a 12345 o

What is the probability of rolling on a single die a 1,2,3,4,5 or 6? Write as a percent rounded to nearest whole.

Solution

Sample Space = {1,2,3,4,5,6}

Hence there are 6 events on the sample space

P{getting a 1} = P(number of favorable outcomes)/P(number of total outcomes) = 1/6 = 16.67% or nearest whole value will be equal to 17%

P{getting a 2} = P(number of favorable outcomes)/P(number of total outcomes) = 1/6 = 16.67% or nearest whole value will be equal to 17%

P{getting a 3} = P(number of favorable outcomes)/P(number of total outcomes) = 1/6 = 16.67% or nearest whole value will be equal to 17%

P{getting a 4} = P(number of favorable outcomes)/P(number of total outcomes) = 1/6 = 16.67% or nearest whole value will be equal to 17%

P{getting a 5} = P(number of favorable outcomes)/P(number of total outcomes) = 1/6 = 16.67% or nearest whole value will be equal to 17%

P{getting a 6} = P(number of favorable outcomes)/P(number of total outcomes) = 1/6 = 16.67% or nearest whole value will be equal to 17%
