Question

If a single six sided die is rolled, what are the odds that you will roll a number less than 5?

Choose the correct answer below.

Answer 1

Answer:

C) 4 : 2 Odds of rolling a number less than 5

Step-by-step explanation:

If there are 6 sides on the dice, 4 of the sides are going to be less than 5 and two of them are not.

Answer 2

Answer:

4:2 Odds of rolling a number less than 5.

Step-by-step explanation:

ODDS is defined as probability that event will occur divided by probability that event will not occur.

A six sided die has 6 numbers in total.

• Numbers less than 5 are: 1,2,3, and 4. In total 4 numbers.
• Numbers NOT less than 5 are: 5 and 6. In total 2 numbers.

The odds of rolling a number LESS THAN 5 is therefore:

Odds = 4:2

Last answer choice is right.
