Adam rolls a number cube with faces numbered 1 to 6. what is the probability, to the nearest hundredth, that he rolls a 4?

Respuesta :

To solve this problem, let us first define probability. We know in statistics class that probability is simply the ratio of a selected event to occur over the total number of events. That is:

probability = number of selected event to occur / total number of events

 

In this scenario, our only selected event to occur is to have a dice roll of 4. That is 1 event only. Now since there are 6 number in the dice, therefore the total number of events is 6. Therefore:

probability = 1 / 6

probability = 0.1666667

Rounding off to the nearest hundredth:

probability = 0.17
