Question

what is the probability of rolling an 8 on a number cube?

Answer 1

We are asked to find the probability of rolling an 8 on a cube.

Recall that a cube has 6 sides with the following numbers.

1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6

Recall that the probability of an event is given by

$P=\frac{number\: of\: favorable\: outcomes}{total\: number\: of\: outcomes}$

For the given case,

Number of favorable outcomes = 0 (since there is no 8 on a cube)

Total number of outcomes = 6 (since there are a total of 6 sides)

$P(8)=\frac{0}{6}=0$

Therefore, the probability of rolling an 8 on a cube is 0
