Question

a standard die is rolled. find the probability that the number rolled is greater than 3. Express your answer as a fraction

Answer 1

1/2

Explanation

The probability of an event is the number of favorable outcomes divided by the total number of outcomes possible.

$P(A)=\frac{favorabl\text{e outcome}}{\text{total outcome}}$

Step 1

Let

total = 6 ( the dice has 6 faces)

and

numbers greater than 3= 4,4,6= (3)

now , replace

$\begin{gathered} P(A)=\frac{favorabl\text{e outcome}}{\text{total outcome}} \\ P(A)==\frac{3}{6} \\ P(A)=\frac{1}{2} \end{gathered}$

I hope this helps you
