Question

What are the odds of rolling a number greater than 3 on a six sided die?

Answer 1

there are 3 numbers greater than three, there are 6 total, so 3/6 or 1/2

Answer 2

You want to roll a 4, 5, or a 6. There are 6 total possible values, and 3 which satisfy your requirement. Thus, \[{3 \over 6}={ 1 \over 2}\]

Answer 3

1/2
There are 3 numbers greater than 6, so 3/6 of the numbers on the die are greater than 3. 3/6 reduces to 1/2. Therefore, 1/2 is the probability.
