Question

find the odds of getting a 4 or a 5 on a six sided number cube.

Answer 1

Odds of getting a 4 ----> 1/6
Odds of getting a 5 ------> 1/6

If we use the word OR, then probabilities add.

\(\Large \color{purple}{\rightarrow {1 \over 6} + {1 \over 6} }\)

\(\Large \color{purple}{\rightarrow {2 \over 6} }\)

\(\Large \color{purple}{\rightarrow {1 \over 3} }\)
